O ruži ...
(u skromnom prijevodu moje malenkosti)
John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)
The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
...
Crvena ruža šapuće o strasti
Bijela uzdiše o ljubavi
Crvena je ruža grabljivica
A bijela je golubica.
Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
..
Tigar u meni miriše (na) ružu.
Henry Lewis Mencken (1880-1956)
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage,
concludes that it will also make better
soup.
...
Idealist je onaj koji, opazivši da ruža miriše bolje od kupusa,
vjeruje da će od ruže skuhati i bolju
juhu.
Salvador Dali (1904-1989)
The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet;
the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.
...
Prvi koji je usporedio obraze djevojke s ružom očito je bio pjesnik,
sljedeći koji je to uradio vjerojatno je bio budala.
William Shakespeare (1564 -1616)
At Christmas I no more desire a rose
Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled shows,
But like of each thing that in season grows.
...
Za Božić ne želim ružu
Više no što bi želio snijeg u maju
No tako je sa stvarima svim
Koje dok je sezona traju.
