Romanska Bågar

Tomas Tranströmer

Inne i den väldiga romanska kyrkan
trängdes turisterna i halvmörkret.
Valv gapade bakom valv och ingen överblick.
Några ljuslågor fladdrade.
En ängel utan ansikte omfamnade mig
och viskade genom hela kroppen:
”Skäms inte för att du är människa, var stolt!
Inne i dig öppnar sig valv bakom valv oändligt.
Du blir aldrig färdig, och det är som det skall.”
Jag var blind av tårar
och föstes ut på den solsjudande
piazzan tillsammans med Mr och Mrs Jones,
Herr Tanaka och Signora Sabatini,
och inne i dem alla öppnade sig valv bakom valv oändligt.

 

...It is still recounted how on the same day the madman forced his way into several churches and there started singing his requiem aeternam deo. Let out and called to account, he is said to have replied nothing but ‘What then are these churches now if not the tombs and sepulchres of God?’ (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Romanesque Arches

Tomas Tranströmer

Inside the huge Romanesque church

the tourists jostled in the half darkness.

Vault gaped behind vault, no complete view.

A few candle flames flickered.

An angel with no face embraced me

and whispered through my whole body:

“Don’t be ashamed of being human, be proud!

Inside you vault opens behind vault endlessly.

You will never be complete, that’s how it’s meant to be.”

Blind with tears

I was pushed out on the sun-seething

piazza together with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. Tanaka,

and Signora Sabatini,

and inside each of them vault opened behind vault endlessly.
