José Emilio Pacheco: Dichterliebe

La poesía tiene una sola realidad: el sufrimiento.
Baudelaire lo atestigua, Ovidio aprobaría
afirmaciones semejantes.
Y esto por otra parte garantiza
la supervivencia amenazada de un arte
que pocos leen y al parecer
muchos detestan,
como una enfermedad de la conciencia, un rezago
de tiempos anteriores a los nuestros
cuando la ciencia cree disfrutar
del monopolio eterno de la magia.

José Emilio Pacheco (1939-2014): Dichterliebe

    José Emilio Pacheco: Dichterliebe

    Poetry has but one reality: suffering.
    Baudelaire attested to it. Ovid would approve
    with similar affirmations.
    And this, what's more, guarantees
    the threatened survival of an art
    that few read and many
    seemingly detest,
    like a sickness of consciousness, a residue
    of former times left over in ours,
    when science believes it enjoys
    an eternal monopoly on magic.

    (My translation)

    Nice one Tom, Harambe and Trump and Hillary and Bill and all -- along with that unnamed man collecting "recyclable materials amongst the floating garbage at Manila baywalk" (all those colors, all that plastic, that red hat) . . .
