Post Scriptum #408
Edward Lear
(Inglaterra, 1812-1888)
Era uma vez uma velha Senhora de Praga
Cuja linguagem era horrivelmente vaga;
Quando lhe perguntavam: "Isto são bonés?"
Ela respondia: "Talvez!"
Aquela oracular Senhora de Praga.
Tradução de Cecília Rego Pinheiro.
ADENDA:
Este poema fez-me lembrar aqueles versos imortais de Edward Smith, que rezam: "O general Cocardasse/ andando na caça ao leão/ sentiu uma doce impressão/ um bocado abaixo do coração/ E procurando ao apalpão/ pois que estava na escuridão/ logo viu que pusera a mão/ sobre o terceiro botão/ do sítio onde tinha ...". O resto perdeu-se pois o manuscrito original era muito velho e sofrera tratos de polé em diversas escaramuças onde o general estivera metido.
