Daily Poem: In the Middle of the Road ~ Carlos Drummond de Andrade
In the Middle of the Road
~ Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Translated from Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop
In the middle of the road there was a stone
there was a stone in the middle of the road
there was a stone
in the middle of the road there was a stone.
Never should I forget this event
in the life of my fatigued retinas.
Never should I forget that in the middle of the road
there was a stone
there was a stone in the middle of the road
in the middle of the road there was a stone.
