Conill

Conill, per què tems el temps?
La pineda està tranquil.la
i tanmateix mous ensems
musell, orella i pupil·la.

--Escolto la veu dels pins,
flairo l'oratge que em fibla
i esguardo vers els camins
de la ciutat invisible
on homes de cor mesell
desengreixen el fusell
que fa aquell pet tan terrible.

Rabbit

Rabbit, why do you fear the weather?
The pinewood here is peaceful
and yet, twitching all together,
are nose and ear and pupil.

– I listen to the pine trees’ moan
I smell the thunder’s wrath
and I look towards the paths
that lead to the unseen town
where men whose hearts are stained
take down and clean the gun
that makes that terrifying sound.

* 29.11.1899, Sabadell, Espanha
† 18.06.1986, Barcelona, Espanha

Joan Oliver (Sabadell, 1899-Barcelona, 1986), better known as Pere Quart, the name with which he signed his poems, was a poet, playwright, narrator, translator and journalist.

Oliver is regarded as one of the five most important Catalan poets of the 20th century and wrote poetry that has been seen as the most original of all. His first anthology, Les decapitacions (1934, The Beheadings), anticipates his later work: agile, focusing on incidents and drawn by realism, a reflection of the traumatic experience of the Spanish Civil War and exile, and with a despairing and sceptical vision of the world. He was born into a bourgeois family of industrialists and, together with Francesc Trabal and Armand Obiols, he founded the Sabadell Group. He remained a writer with a style marked by irony that attacked conventions. El misantrop, his translation of Molière’s play The Misanthrope, was awarded the President of the French Republic Prize in the 1950s. He was awarded the Honorary Prize for Catalan Letters in the 1970s and in the 80s received the City of Barcelona Prize, the Josep Maria de Sagarra Prize for Translation and the Government of Catalonia Prize for Poetry. However, in keeping with his nonconformism and his critical stance, he turned down the Sant Jordi Cross.
