The advantages of being a Hungarian

.. are for instance that you can read a genious in original.

Winter night
by Attila Jozsef ( translation by me) - parts of the poem


“ Sparkling, as the thought itself,
the winter night breathes.”

‘ In cold space a raven is flying
and silence’s got cool. Do you hear, bones, the stillness?
Molecules clink . A girl is crying.”

“ Where from dusk a rusty leaved tree
bends forward
The winter night I measure.
As owner does,
measuring his treasure.”

“ The night has risen, as smoke from the chimney,
with its sparkling stars.”

“ The fine glass
of the air,
has been scratched by branches here and there.”
