Pictures of the gone world 1

Away above a harborful
                                                            of caulkless houses
among the charley noble chimneypots
                                                      of a rooftop rigged with clotheslines
                a woman pastes up sails
                                                 upon the wind
   hanging out her morning sheets
                                                     with wooden pins
                                    O lovely mammal
                                                                her nearly naked teats
                          throw taut shadows
                                                   when she stretches up
to hang at last the last of her
                                             so white washed sins
                but it is wetly amorous
                                                    and winds itself about her
                   clinging to her skin
                                                 So caught with arms upraised
           she tosses back her head
                                              in voiceless laughter
   and in choiceless gesture then
                                                shakes out gold hair

while in the reachless seascape spaces

                                                  between the blown white shrouds

       stand out the bright steamers

                                                     to kingdom come

Pictures of the gone world 1

Weit über einem Hafenvoll
                                                         unkalfaterter Häuser
  inmitten der blitzblanken Schornsteinkappen
                                      eines Flachdachs mit Wäscheleinetakelage
                     kleistert eine Frau Segel
                                                       in den Wind
           hängt ihre Morgenlaken auf
                                                        mit hölzernen Klammern
                                 Ach reizendes Säugetier
                                                               ihre fast nackten Brustwarzen
                  werfen straffe Schatten
                                                 wenn sie sich streckt
  um aufzuhängen die letzte ihrer
                                                    so weiß gewaschenen Sünden
                  doch sie ist tropfend sinnlich
                                                                und wickelt sich um sie
                       klebt an ihrer Haut
                                                      So gefangen mit erhobenen Armen
               wirft sie den Kopf zurück
                                                       in tonlosem Lachen
  und dann in wahlloser Geste
                                               schüttelt sie goldenes Haar

während in den grenzenlosen Meeresleeren

                                                   zwischen den wehenden weißen Tüchern

     leuchtende Dampfer

                                       in alle Ewigkeit prangen

Из книги «Картины ушедшего мира» (1)

Над полной гаванью
                                            непроконопаченных домишек
среди надраенных по-корабельному дымоходов
                                    на крыше в полной оснастке бельевых верёвок
               женщина какая-то приляпывает к ветру
                                                                                          паруса́
       развешивая свои утренние простыни
                                                                       на деревянных прищепках
                             Вот славное млекопитающее
                                                                    её почти голые титьки
              бросают тугие тени
                                                 когда она тянется
вывесить напоследок последний из
                                                  своих застиранных добела грехов
                 но он ещё мокр от любви
                                              и оборачивается вокруг неё
                              приставая к коже
                                                         Так что захваченная врасплох
          с поднятыми руками она откидывает голову
                                                                               с неслышным смехом
     и неизбежным взмахом
                                                 высвобождает свои золотые волосы
покуда недостижимым морским простором
                                                                среди белопенных пелён
            отправляются блестящие пароходы
                                                                           в лучший мир

* 24.03.1919, Yonkers, New York, United States
† 22.02.2021, San Francisco, United States

A prominent voice of the wide-open poetry movement that began in the 1950s, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has written poetry, translation, fiction, theater, art criticism, film narration, and essays.

Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers in 1919. He received a Master’s degree from Columbia University in 1947 and a Doctorate de l’Université de Paris (Sorbonne) in 1950. In 1953, with Peter D. Martin, he founded City Lights Bookstore, the first all-paperbound bookshop in the country, and by 1955 he had launched the City Lights publishing house. His publication of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl in 1956 led to his arrest on obscenity charges, and the trial that followed drew national attention to the San Francisco Renaissance and Beat movement writers. This landmark First Amendment case established a legal precedent for the publication of controversial work with redeeming social importance.

Ferlinghetti’s paintings have been shown at various galleries around the world, from the Butler Museum of American Painting to Il Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome.

Ferlinghetti’s A Coney Island of the Mind continues to be the most popular poetry book in the U.S. It has been translated into nine languages, and there are nearly 1,000,000 copies in print. The author of poetry, plays, fiction, art criticism, and essays, he has a dozen books currently in print in the U.S., and his work has been translated in many countries and in many languages. His most recent books are A Far Rockaway of the Heart (1997), How to Paint Sunlight (2001), and Americus Book I (2004) published by New Directions.

Ferlinghetti died on February 22, 2021, at his home in San Francisco at age 101.
