Estas flores
se sonharam
de volta à cor pura –
os verdes
da água indivisa,
os verdes
informes do prado
assim como Deus disse:
Que haja
Íris.
Trad.: Nelson Santander
Monet’s Irises
These flowers
have dreamed themselves
back into pure color—
the greens
of undivided water,
the formless
greens of meadow
just as God said:
Let there be
Irises.
