Estas flores
sonharam em voltar
à cor pura –
os verdes
de indivisas águas,
os verdes
informes dos prados
assim como Deus disse:
Façam-se as
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.
