Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1919 – 2004)

A Portuguese Poet

MIDDAY

"Midday. A corner of the deserted beach. The huge, deep, open sun on high Has chased all the gods from the sky. The harsh light falls like a punishment. There are no ghosts and no souls, And the vast, ancient, solitary sea Loudly claps its hands."

MEIO-DIA

"Meio-dia. Um canto da praia sem ninguém. O sol no alto, fundo, enorme, aberto, Tornou o céu de todo o deus deserto. A luz cai implacável como um castigo. Não há fantasmas nem almas, E o mar imenso solitário e antigo, Parece bater palmas."
