Michel Quoist – Uram, van időm

2022-03-19

Uram, elindultam,kint mentek az emberek. Mentek,Jöttek,Siettek,Futottak.Futottak a kerékpárok,Futottak a szekerek,Futottak a teherautók,Futott az utca,Futott a város,Futott minden. Futottak, hogy időt ne veszítsenek.Futottak az idő nyomában, hogy utolérjék az időt, hogy időt nyerjenek. Viszontlátásra barátom, bocsáss meg, nincs időm.Ismét erre fogok jönni, nem várhatok, nincs időm.Befejezem a levelet, mert nincs időm.Szívesen segítettem volna magának, de nincs … Olvass tovább

Said Santa Claus One winter’s night, ‘I really think it’s only right That gifts should have a little say ‘Bout where they’ll be on Christmas Day.’ So then and there He called the toys Intended for good girls and boys, And when they’d settled down to hear, He made his plan for them quite clear. … Olvass tovább

Elizabeth Barrett Browning – The Holy Night

2017-02-052015-12-16

We sate among the stalls at Bethlehem; The dumb kine from their fodder turning them, Softened their horn’d faces, To almost human gazes Toward the newly Born: The simple shepherds from the star-lit brooks Brought visionary looks, As yet in their astonished hearing rung The strange sweet angel-tongue: The magi of the East, in sandals … Olvass tovább

Across the festive store I see her A mother knelt beside her child Both conjured by the Christmas frippery Entranced by the promiscuous lights Dancing across their astonishment Silver drums and golden trumpets Sparkling peacocks and frosted fruits Rainbow garlands and brazen tinsel Stars and fairies awaiting their finest hour I cannot help but move … Olvass tovább

Alan Williams – Falling Snow

2017-02-052015-12-16

See how they fall An infinity of heavenly aspirations Come to convert the world With a deep and even purity. Sent to nullify and cleanse To enhance and beautify To muffle and calm With the tranquillity Of a gossamer eiderdown. To cloak in a mystery Of endless variations Of the same tonal theme; Converting everything … Olvass tovább
