Some of my favourite poems which reflect my vision of life

George Gray

I have studied many times

The marble which was chiseled for me—

A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.

In truth it pictures not my destination

But my life.

For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;

Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;

Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.

Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.

And now I know that we must lift the sail

And catch the winds of destiny

Wherever they drive the boat.

To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness,

But life without meaning is the torture

Of restlessness and vague desire—

It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.

Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950).

Spoon River Anthology. 1916.

IL GIARDINO DEI FIORI

Sul lago, in fondo a pioppi e abeti folti,

da mura e siepi diviso, un giardino

così ben curato con fiori di ogni mese

che è da marzo fino ad ottobre in fiore.

Qui al mattino, non troppo spesso, io siedo

e auguro a me che anche io possa sempre

per mutare di tempo – bello, brutto – mostrare

o una o altra gradevole cosa

B. BRECHT

IL NULLA QUOTIDIANO

Io non sono

che uno sforzo per esistere

qualcosa che arranca

nel nulla quotidiano

per giunger alla sponda dell’essere

mille volte ricade

mille volte ritenta

s’arrampica s’aggrappa

e sa che non avrà

se non questo tormento

e sa che saperlo una volta

non è saperlo per sempre

sempre bisogna imparare d’accapo

con sudore e con lacrime.
