POEMS BY JOUMANA HADDAD: Lebanon

BLUE TREE

When your eyes meet my solitude
Silence ripens, a fruit,
And sleep turns into storm.
Forbidden doors fling open
And water learns to suffer.

When my solitude meets your eyes
Desire rises and spreads haughty
like the tides, unceasing waves,
or like sap trickling drop by drop,
burning more than torment:
A start that never stops.

When your eyes meet my solitude
I surrender rain-stripped and generous
as a breast in a dream,
tender as the vineyard that matures in the sun.
Pluralized, I surrender
until your love-shoots grow
high and unruly,
unruly yet utterly mine.
An arrow that returns to the bow,
A blue palm nailed to my clouds,
A mounting sky nothing could restrain.

Written and Translated by Joumana Haddad

 WHEN I BECAME FRUIT

A girl and a boy I was conceived under the  shade of the moon
But Adam was sacrificed at my birth
Immolated to the mercenaries of night. 
And to fill the gap of my other essence
My mother bathed me in waters of mystery, Placed me on the edge of each mountain
And molded me in light and darkness,
So that I become the center and the spear,
Transfixed and glorious,
The angel of pleasures that have no name. 

 Stranger I grew
And nobody harvested my fields.
I drew my life on a white sheet,
An apple which no tree gave birth to,
Then I split it and got out
Partly dressed in red and partly in white. 
I was not only in time or outside of it
For I matured in the two forests
And I remembered before being born
That I was a multitude of bodies
And that I slept for a long time
That I lived for a long time
And when I became fruit
I knew what awaited me. 

I asked the wizards to take care of me
So they took me. 
Sweet was my laughter
Blue my nudity
And timid my sin. 
I flew on a bird’s feather
And became pillow at the delirious hour. 
They covered my body with amulets
And coated my heart with the honey of madness. 
They protected my treasures
And the thieves of my treasures,
Brought me silences and stories
And prepared me to live without roots. 

And from that time on I fly.
I reincarnate in the cloud of each night and I travel. 
I am the only one to tell me good-bye

And the only one to welcome me. 

Desire is my way and the storm my compass

And in love I do not drop anchor in any port.  At night I give up most of me

Then I hug myself passionately when I return. 

Twin of the high tide and the low

Of the wave and its sands

Of the abstinence of the moon and its vices

Of love

And the death of love. 

During the day my laughter belongs to the others

And my secret dinner belongs to me. 

Those who understand my rhythm know me,

Follow me

But never rejoin me.

Outward World Lit

Dr Natalia Carbojosa presents Hilda Dolittle, whose works she is translating in Spanish. This section is intended to offer this sort of outward bound translation works of literature from English to other world languages. Please contact us if you or your colleagues are involved in this sort of work. Write to: editor at poetsletter dot com

Essentially, therefore, this precludes our English speaking readers and visitors to access this section unless of course they know this particular language, yet please let this serve the purpose of leading us towards the original works of the author/poet being translated into other languages.

 

APUNTES ACERCA DE TRILOGY, DE HILDA DOOLITTLE

Dr Natalia Carbajosa Palmero


Durante la segunda guerra mundial, los poetas expatriados del modernismo norteamericano, que habían encontrado en Europa un terreno más afín que su propio país donde desarrollar sus experimentos artísticos, se ven emocionalmente urgidos a dar una respuesta a lo que está sucediendo a su alrededor. De la pluma de Eliot y Pound, sus principales actores, surgen The Four Quartets (Los cuatro cuartetos) y The Pisan Cantos (Cantos pisanos) respectivamente. Sin tratarse de obras que podamos adscribir, ni mucho menos, a la poesía social, sí es cierto que los mecanismos otrora al servicio de una brillantez estilística y erudita a veces cultivados per se, evolucionan en esta ocasión hacia un tono más concentrado y meditativo en busca de lo inefable, más justificadamente que nunca, tras la barbarie.
Hilda Doolittle, conocida en los círculos literarios como H.D., amiga de juventud de Pound -a la postre negativamente marcada por esta relación, que rememora en una narración biográfica titulada End to Torment (Final del tormento)- y animada por él a seguirle en su periplo imagista por Europa, también participa de esta experiencia, tanto física como psíquicamente: las bombas de la aviación nazi caen sin cesar a la vuelta de su casa de Londres, ciudad convertida, como una nueva Pompeya, en un amasijo de escombro y ceniza. Mientras la prensa califica estos bombardeos eufemísticamente de “incidentes”, la poeta compone en su casa Trilogy, poemario dividido en tres partes -The walls do not fall, 1944, Tribute to angels, 1945, y The flowering of the rod, 1946 (No caen las murallas, Tributo a los ángeles y La floración de la vara)- y de ambicioso alcance. Doolittle ya era conocida en los círculos modernistas por obras como Sea Garden (Jardín junto al mar, publicada en edición bilingüe en Igitur) y por sus traducciones de Safo y Eurípides. Gran conocedora de la literatura griega, en muchos de sus poemas reescribe antiguos mitos, sobre todo desde la perspectiva de los personajes femeninos -Helena de Troya, Eurídice, Leda, Circe-, a los que dota de una voz propia, al margen de interpretaciones oficiales y plagada de resonancias inconfundiblemente contemporáneas.
Cuando concibe la idea de Trilogy, la autora lleva varios años sin escribir –que no sin investigar, traducir, etc. Acude a sesiones de psicoanálisis con el Dr. Freud e indaga en ciertas ramas de la teosofía. Se encuentra, además, en un delicado momento personal. Mas ni la psicología, ni la espiritualidad, ni las circunstancias personales destruyen el bloqueo en el que se halla sumida. Es la traumática experiencia de verse, junto a sus congéneres, rodeada de caos y destrucción, la que se torna germen de este intenso poema de madurez (por todas partes ruina, mas como el desplomado/ techo deja a la intemperie / la estancia sellada, / así, en nuestra desolación,/ se agitan los pensamientos, nos acecha / la inspiración en lo oscuro). Su estilo, sencillo en apariencia, no debe engañarnos respecto a la intención que lo anima: el yo poético, arropado por todos los hacedores de palabras del mundo, se va transformando en un yo profético, el único capaz, en medio de la destrucción, de aunar el pasado con el futuro y asegurar la supervivencia de la humanidad. La civilización deja de ser un libro del que ir sacando mitos a conveniencia para convertirse en una necesidad. Grecia cede el puesto a Egipto, al Antiguo y al Nuevo testamento, en singular amalgama de imágenes visionarias que, a la manera de Blake, van conformando una mitología nueva, puesto que la vieja ya no sirve para interpretar los acontecimientos.
Inexplicablemente, los libros de Hilda Doolittle apenas ha llegado, hasta la fecha, al público español. Presentamos a continuación los compases iniciales de la primera parte de Trilogy, The walls do not fall, con la esperanza de ir despertando el interés de los lectores por esta escritora, cuando menos, sorprendente.

NO CAEN LAS MURALLAS

a Bryher

a Karnak 1923
desde Londres 1942


[1]

Algún incidente aquí y allá,
y los raíles disueltos (en fusiles)
de esta vieja plaza tuya (y mía):

niebla y gris niebla, sin color;
pero en Luxor permanecen inmutables
abeja, polluelo y liebre

de verde, rosa-rojo, lapislázuli;
leen sus predicciones, como siempre,
en el papiro de piedra:

allí, como aquí, la ruina abre
la tumba, el templo; entra,
aquí, como allí, no hay puertas:

se abre el santuario al cielo raso,
la lluvia cae aquí, allí se forman
remolinos de arena; la eternidad resiste:

por todas partes ruina, mas como el desplomado
techo deja a la intemperie
la estancia sellada,

así, en nuestra desolación,
se agitan los pensamientos, nos acecha
la inspiración en lo oscuro:

por sorpresa, el Espíritu anuncia la Presencia;
nos invade un estremecimiento
de otro tiempo, Samuel:

temblando en la esquina de una calle cualquiera,
ni sabemos ni saben de nosotros;
la Pitia sentencia – corremos

a otro refugio, otro muro derruido
donde humildes utensilios se exhiben
como extraños objetos de museo;

Pompeya no enseña nada nuevo,
conocemos la honda fractura del volcán,
el flujo lento de lava terrible,

la presión de corazón, pulmón, cerebro
a punto de romper su frágil funda
(¡cuánto puede resistir la calavera!):

sobre nosotros, un fuego Apócrifo,
bajo nosotros, tremor de tierra, engulle el suelo
el declive de la acera

por donde los hombres ruedan, ebrios
de un nuevo estupor,
brujería, hechizo:

no se hizo el armazón de huesos
para esta urdimbre de asombro y terror,
sin embargo el esqueleto ha resistido:

¿la carne? derretida,
abrasado el corazón, ascua muerta,
rotos músculo y tendón, rasgada la envoltura,

pero la estructura intacta:
hemos vencido a las llamas: nos preguntamos
¿qué nos ha salvado? ¿y por qué?


[2]

El Mal se afanaba en la tierra,
el Bien, abatido, se afligía;

el Mal ofrecía aventuras,
ocioso, el Bien languidecía;

el Mal-igno acechaba
disfrazado de Jehová;

el Bien era la insípida cáscara
despojada del maná-semilla, la legumbre:

estaban airados y nosotros tan faltos
de alimento, Dios;

arrancaban nuestros amuletos,
los hechizos, decían, no son la gracia;

mas los dioses siempre son bifrontes,
así que busquemos los antiguos senderos

en pos de la runa verdadera, el conjuro exacto,
los valores antiguos retomemos;

no atendamos si nos gritan:
vuestra bella Isis, Aset o Astarté

es una ramera; sois unos mojigatos,
fanáticos que añoran las ollas de Egipto;

vuestro corazón, es más,
es un cáncer muerto,

prosiguen, y vuestra salmodia
es el himno del diablo,

vuestro estilo se moja en sublimado corrosivo;
¿cómo rascaréis hasta borrar, del palimpsesto,

la tinta indeleble
de pasadas desventuras?


[3]

No obstante, recobremos el Cetro,
la vara del poder,

coronada con la flor del lirio
o su brote:

es el Caduceo; entre los moribundos
curación otorga:

o, evocando a los muertos,
trae la vida a los vivos.


[4]

Alberga un hechizo, por ejemplo,
cada concha de mar:

constante, el embate del agua
nada puede contra el coral,

el hueso, la piedra, el mármol
labrados desde dentro por ese artesano,

el habitante de la concha:
ostra, almeja o molusco

es el maestro escultor
que trabaja el prodigio en piedra;

pero ese ermitaño fláccido y amorfo
que ahí mora, como el planeta,

siente la finitud,
limita la órbita

de su ser, su casa,
templo, ermita o santuario:

abre los portales
a intervalos fijos:

urgido por el hambre,
se abre al flujo de la marea:

¿y el infinito? no,
sólo un poco de cada:

siento mi propio límite,
mis valvas se cierran en seco

si el peso inabarcable del océano
me invade; el agua infinita

no puede romperme, huevo en mi concha;
cerrada, completa, inmortal,

un círculo perfecto, conozco la marea,
su empuje y su calma

tan bien como la luna;
la oscuridad del pulpo

nada puede contra
su fría inmortalidad;

así, a mi modo, sé
que la ballena

no puede digerirme:
resiste en tu órbita pequeña, inmóvil,

limitada, y del tiburón
de la circunstancia externa

te escupirán las fauces:
sé indigerible, dura, avara,

y así, en reclusión,
engendra de ti misma,

generosamente,
esa valiosa perla.


[5]

Cuando andaba en compañía de los dioses
yo amaba y era amada;

nunca, empero, fue mi mente
presa de este arrobo,

ni mi corazón llevado
a tal placer

como ahora que descubro,
del Amor, un nuevo Maestro:

Suyo es el rastro en la arena
de un ciruelo en flor

a la puerta entreabierta de una choza
(rastro hubiera sido

aunque el viento disperse las huellas en la arena,
vistas o no vistas):

Suyo el genio del vaso
que encuentra el Pescador,

Él es el Mago,
el que lleva la Mirra.


[6]

En mí (la oruga), sin duda,
no hay otra virtud que esta:

la constancia; escapé de la tela de araña,
la garra del ave, el pico rapaz,

me aferré a una brizna de hierba,
al envés de una hoja

mientras el vendaval
la arrancaba de su tallo;

escapé y exploré
el bosque de espino,

me arrastró la lluvia
por el valle de una hoja;

me posó en la hierba,
donde asta junto a asta engalanadas

formaban entre sí una maraña
de joyas engastadas

de niebla,
la de cada bandera en su asta:

indiferente a la multiplicidad
de tan vasta belleza,

como vuestro gran ojo sombrío de Gorgona
no es capaz de enfocar

ni calcular, saco provecho
de cada calamidad;

me abro paso;
devorando hoja de vid y de morera,

voy encontrando, parásita, alimento;
cuando exclamáis con asco:

un gusano en la hoja,
un gusano en el suelo,

un gusano en la espiga,
continúo impenitente;

porque sé que Dios, Nuestro Señor,
me será revelado cuando yo,

la oruga laboriosa,
haya tejido mi propio sudario.


[7]

Los dioses, las diosas
llevan el tocado alado

de cuernos, como antenas
la mariposa

o la cresta erguida la cobra real
para mostrar, de la oruga,
su metamorfosis.


[8]

Con los cuernos, el disco o la serpiente erguida
revelamos nuestra condición:

aunque estos, las dos plumas o el loto
sean, nos decís, frívolo adorno

del intelecto;
los poetas somos inservibles,

más que eso:
nosotros, reliquias genuinas,

portadores del saber secreto,
retazos vivientes

de la banda que lleva el iniciado
dentro de los santuarios

no sólo somos ‘in-útiles’,
somos ‘patéticos’:

esta es la nueva herejía;
pero si ni siquiera entendéis lo que las palabras dicen,

¿cómo os atrevéis a juzgar
lo que las palabras callan?

con todo, revelan las antiguas escrituras
que estamos de nuevo en el principio:

os queda un largo camino por recorrer,
caminad con cautela, dirigíos con respecto

a quienes han completado el ciclo de la oruga,
pues también antes fueron los dioses aplastados

y los ídolos y su secreto guarda
la misma palabra humana,

el sueño banal
o trivial; las insignias

en la cresta de la garza,
el lomo del áspid,

los enigmas y escrituras prometen, como antaño,
protección para el escriba;

este precede al sacerdote,
es sólo el segundo tras el Faraón.
