Paul Auster
Shadow to Shadow
Against the facade of evening:
shadows, fire, and silence.
Not even silence, but its fire—
the shadow
cast by a breath.
To enter the silence of this wall,
I must leave myself behind.
POL OSTER
(1947 – 2024)
SJENA SJENI
Na fasadi večeri:
sjene, vatra i tišina.
Nije ni tišina, nego njena vatra —
sjena
bačena dahom.
Da uđem u tišinu ovog zida,
moram sebe da ostavim iza sebe.
(Prepjev: Magda Jovanović)
