“Тоня стоит перед больницей, опустив руки. Ветер треплет зажатые в кулаке двести крон.
- Моя жизнь лежит в руинах, - бормочет она, потому что так всегда причитает тётя Эйр, когда жизнь перестаёт её слушаться.
- Твои проблемы - это просто сопля в океане, - отвечает ей на это тётя Идун.
- Но сопля тоже лежит в руинах, - говорит тётя Эйр.”
Maria Parr, Tonje Glimmerdal

Mary Oliver
“I Worried"

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?

Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang.”
Mary Oliver, Swan: Poems and Prose Poems
