Kao da me je fantom grlio

Kao da me je fantom grlio,
mislio sam kako nisam sam šečući ovdje i ovim žalom;
no, onaj za kojeg sam smatrao da je samnom dok upravo šećem žalom, onaj kojeg ljubljah jer me je milovao,
dok se naginjem zureći kroz blještavilo svjetlosti, taj je potpuno isčezao.
A pojaviše se oni koji me mrze i ismijavaju.

Walt Whitman

(Preveo Darko Kotevski) 

 
As If a Phantom Caress'd Me

by Walt Whitman

As if a phantom caress'd me,
I thought I was not alone walking here by the shore;
But the one I thought was with me as now I walk by the shore, the one I loved that caress'd me,
As I lean and look through the glimmering light, that one has utterly disappear'd.
And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me.
