A BOWL OF SOUP

A BOWL OF SOUP
A bowl of soup a humble bowl of soup
I am moved to see it in a festive day
and I enter in the soup
and I am eaten by myself with tears in the eyes

///

UM PRATO DE SOPA

Um prato de sopa um humilde prato de sopa
comovo-me ao vê-lo no dia de festa
e entro dentro da sopa
e sou comido por mim próprio com lágrimas nos olhos

by Ruy BELO (1933-1978), in "TODOS OS POEMAS", Edição do Círculo de Leitores, 2000

(English translated by Armando TABORDA)

Wonderful poem and translation. And the ladle looks overcome with emotion. Good combination of words and image. A classic ekphrastic.
