Adrienne Rich: Integrity (English)

 
the quality of being complete; unbroken condition; entirety 
~ Webster 
A wild patience has taken me this far 

as if I had to bring to shore 
a boat with a spasmodic outboard motor 
old sweaters, nets, spray-mottled books 
tossed in the prow 
some kind of sun burning my shoulder-blades. 
Splashing the oarlocks. Burning through. 
Your fore-arms can get scalded, licked with pain 
in a sun blotted like unspoken anger 
behind a casual mist. 

The length of daylight 
this far north, in this 
forty-ninth year of my life 
is critical. 

The light is critical: of me, of this 
long-dreamed, involuntary landing 
on the arm of an inland sea. 
The glitter of the shoal 
depleting into shadow 
I recognize: the stand of pines 
violet-black really, green in the old postcard 
but really I have nothing but myself 
to go by; nothing 
stands in the realm of pure necessity 
except what my hands can hold. 

Nothing but myself?....My selves. 
After so long, this answer. 
As if I had always known 
I steer the boat in, simply. 
The motor dying on the pebbles 
cicadas taking up the hum 
dropped in the silence. 

Anger and tenderness: my selves. 
And now I can believe they breathe in me 
as angels, not polarities. 
Anger and tenderness: the spider's genius 
to spin and weave in the same action 
from her own body, anywhere -- 
even from a broken web. 

The cabin in the stand of pines 
is still for sale. I know this. Know the print 
of the last foot, the hand that slammed and locked the door, 
then stopped to wreathe the rain-smashed clematis 
back on the trellis 
for no one's sake except its own. 
I know the chart nailed to the wallboards 
the icy kettle squatting on the burner. 
The hands that hammered in those nails 
emptied that kettle one last time 
are these two hands 
and they have caught the baby leaping 
from between trembling legs 
and they have worked the vacuum aspirator 
and stroked the sweated temples 
and steered the boat there through this hot 
misblotted sunlight, critical light 
imperceptibly scalding 
the skin these hands will also salve.

Riches D'Adrienne: Intégrité (French)

 
la qualité d'être complet; condition ininterrompue; la patience 
sauvage de Webster A de ~ d'intégralité m'a pris ceci loin 

comme si j'ai dû apporter pour étayer un bateau avec de vieux 
chandails d'un moteur extérieur spasmodic, filets, livres jet-chinés 
jetés en l'air dans le prow un certain genre de soleil brûlant mes 
épaule-lames. Éclaboussement des oarlocks. Brûlure à travers. Vos 
avant-bras peuvent obtenir échaudés, léché avec douleur dans un 
soleil épongé comme unspoken la colère derrière une brume 
occasionnelle. 

La longueur du jour ce nord lointain, en cette quarante-neuvième 
année de ma vie est critique. 

La lumière est critique: de moi, de ceci long-rêvé, atterrissage 
involontaire sur le bras d'une mer intérieure. Le scintillement du 
banc épuisant dans l'ombre que j'identifie: le stand des pins 
violet-noirs vraiment, vert dans la vieille carte postale mais 
vraiment je n'ai rien à mais moi-même passer; rien ne se tient dans 
le royaume de la nécessité pure excepté ce que mes mains peuvent 
tenir. 

Individus de rien mais du myself?....My. Après tellement longtemps, 
cette réponse. Comme si j'avais toujours su que j'oriente le bateau 
dedans, simplement. Le moteur mourant sur les cigales de cailloux 
prenant le fredonnement s'est laissé tomber dans le silence. 

Colère et tendresse: mes individus. Et maintenant je peux croire 
qu'ils respirent dans moi comme anges, pas polarités. Colère et 
tendresse: le génie de l'araignée à tourner et tisser dans la 
même action de son propre corps, n'importe où -- même d'un 
enchaînement cassé. 

La carlingue dans le stand des pins est toujours en vente. Je sais 
ceci. Connaître la copie du dernier pied, la main qui a claqué et a 
fermé la porte, puis cessé de tresser les clematis pluie-cassés en 
arrière sur le treillis dans unique intéret excepté ses propres. Je 
connais le diagramme cloué aux wallboards la bouilloire glaciale 
s'accroupissant sur le brûleur. Les mains qui ont martelé dans ces 
ongles ont vidé que la bouilloire une la fois passée sont ces deux 
mains et elles ont attrapé le bébé sautant de entre des jambes de 
tremblement et elles ont fonctionné l'aspirateur de vide et frotté 
les temples sués et orienté le bateau là par ce chaud misblotted la 
lumière du soleil, lumière critique échaudant imperceptiblement la 
peau que ces mains veulent également l'onguent.

Adrienne Rich: Vollständigkeit (German)

 
die Qualität des Seins komplett; unversehrte Bedingung; Ganzheit ~ 
Webster A wilde Geduld hat mir dieses weit genommen 

als ob ich holen mußte, um ein Boot mit spasmodic außenliegender 
Bewegungsalten Strickjacken, Netze, die Spray-gesprinkelten Bücher 
unterzustützen, die im prow irgendeine Art Sonne meine 
Schulter-Blätter brennend geworfen wurden. Spritzen der 
oarlocks. Durch brennen. Ihre Unterarme können verbrannt erhalten, 
geleckt mit den Schmerz in einer Sonne, die wie befleckt wird, 
unspoken Zorn hinter einem beiläufigen Nebel. 

Die Länge des Tageslichts dieser weite Norden, in diesem vierzig-9. 
Jahr meines Lebens ist kritisch. 

Das Licht ist kritisch: von mir von diesem lang-geträumt, 
unfreiwillige Landung auf dem Arm von einem inländischen Meer. Das 
Funkeln der Masse, die in Schatten verbraucht, den ich erkenne: der 
Standplatz der Kiefern, die wirklich, grün in der alten Postkarte 
aber wirklich habe ich violett-schwarz sind, nichts aber selbst, 
vorbeizugehen; nichts steht im Reich der reinen Notwendigkeit 
ausgenommen, was meine Hände halten können. 

Nichts aber myself?....My Selbst. Nach so lang diese Antwort. Als ob 
ich immer gewußt hatte, daß ich das Boot innen steuere, einfach. Der 
Motor, der auf den Kieselzikaden aufnehmen das Summen stirbt, fiel in 
die Ruhe. 

Zorn und Weichheit: meine Selbst. Und jetzt kann ich glauben, daß sie 
in mir als Engel, nicht Polaritäten atmen. Zorn und Weichheit: das 
Genie der Spinne, zum in der gleichen Tätigkeit von ihrem eigenen 
Körper zu spinnen und zu spinnen, überall -- von einem defekten Netz 
glätten. 

Die Kabine im Standplatz der Kiefern ist noch für Verkauf. Ich weiß 
dieses. Den Druck des letzten Fusses, die Hand kennen, die die Tür 
zuschlug und verriegelte, dann gestoppt wreathe die 
Regen-zertrümmerten clematis zurück auf dem Gitter für keinen Grund 
ausgenommen seine Selbst. Ich kenne das Diagramm, das auf die 
Wallboards der eisige Kessel hockend auf dem Brenner genagelt wird. 
Die Hände, die in jene Nägel hammerten, leerten, sich daß Kessel 
einer letztes Mal diese zwei Hände sind und sie sich das Baby 
verfangen haben, das zwischen von den trembling Beinen springt und sie 
das Vakuumsaugapparat bearbeitet haben und gestrichen den geschwitzten 
Bügeln und dem Boot durch dieses heiße gesteuert Tageslicht 
misblotted, das kritische Licht, welches unverkennbar die Haut 
verbrennt, die diese Hände auch salve willen.

Rich De Adrienne: Integridade (Portuguese)

 
a qualidade de estar completo; circunstância inteira; a paciência 
selvagem de Webster A do ~ da totalidade fêz-me exame desta 
distante 

como se eu tive que trazer para suportar um barco com os sweaters 
velhos de um motor externo spasmodic, redes, livros 
pulverizador-spray-mottled lançados no prow algum tipo do sol que 
queima minhas ombro-lâminas. Espirrando os oarlocks. Queimadura 
completamente. Seus fore-arms podem começar escaldados, licked com 
dor em um sol borrado como unspoken a raiva atrás de uma névoa 
ocasional. 

O comprimento da luz do dia este norte distante, neste quarenta-nono 
ano de minha vida é crítico. 

A luz é crítica: de mim, disto longo-sonhado, aterragem involuntary 
no braço de um mar inland. O glitter do shoal que esgota na sombra 
que eu reconheço: o carrinho dos pinhos violeta-pretos realmente, 
verde no postcard velho mas realmente eu não tenho nada mas eu mesmo 
ir perto; nada está no reino da necessidade pura exceto o que minhas 
mãos podem prender. 

Selves nada mas do myself?....My. Após assim por muito tempo, esta 
resposta. Como se eu tinha sabido sempre que eu dirijo o barco dentro, 
simplesmente. O motor que morre nas cigarras dos seixos que fazem 
exame acima do hum deixou cair no silêncio. 

Raiva e tenderness: meus selves. E agora eu posso acreditar que 
respiram em mim como angels, não polaridades. Raiva e tenderness: o 
gênio da aranha a girar e tecer na mesma ação de seu próprio 
corpo, em qualquer lugar -- nivelar de uma correia fotorreceptora 
quebrada. 

A cabine no carrinho dos pinhos é ainda para a venda. Eu sei este. 
Saber a cópia do último pé, a mão que bateu e travou a porta, a 
seguir parado para entretecer para trás os clematis 
chuva-despedaçados no trellis para no.one causa exceto seus 
próprios. Eu sei a carta pregada aos wallboards a chaleira gelada que 
squatting no queimador. As mãos que martelaram naqueles pregos 
esvaziaram que a chaleira uma última vez é estas duas mãos e 
travaram o bebê que pula entre dos pés tremer e trabalharam o 
aspirador do vácuo e afagado os temples suados e dirigido o barco com 
este quente misblotted a luz solar, luz crítica que escalda 
imperceptibly a pele que estas mãos querem também o salve.

Ricos De Adrienne: Integridad (Spanish)

 
la calidad de ser completo; condición intacta; la paciencia salvaje 
de Webster A del ~ de la totalidad me ha tomado esto lejos 

como si tuviera que traer para apuntalar un barco con los viejos 
suéteres de un motor externo espasmódico, redes, libros 
aerosol-abigarrados sacudidos en el prow una cierta clase de sol que 
se quemaba mis hombro-la'minas. Salpicar los oarlocks. El quemarse a 
través. Sus antebrazos pueden conseguir escaldados, lamido con dolor 
en un sol borrado como unspoken cólera detrás de una niebla 
ocasional. 

La longitud de la luz del día este norte lejano, en este 
cuarenta-noveno año de mi vida es crítica. 

La luz es crítica: de mí, de esto largo-soñada, aterrizaje 
involuntario en el brazo de un mar interior. El brillo del bajío que 
agota en sombra que reconozco: el soporte de los pinos violeta-negros 
realmente, verde en la vieja postal pero realmente no tengo nada sino 
mismo ir cerca; nada está parado en el reino de la necesidad pura 
excepto lo que pueden sostener mis manos. 

Uno mismo nada pero del myself?....My. Después de tan de largo, esta 
respuesta. Como si hubiera sabido siempre que dirijo el barco adentro, 
simplemente. El motor que moría en las cigarras de los guijarros que 
tomaban el ronquido cayó en el silencio. 

Cólera y dulzura: mis uno mismo. Y ahora puedo creer que respiran en 
mí como ángeles, no polaridades. Cólera y dulzura: el genio de la 
araña a hacer girar y a tejer en la misma acción de su propio 
cuerpo, dondequiera -- igualar de una tela quebrada. 

La cabina en el soporte de pinos todavía está para la venta. Sé 
esto. Saber la impresión del pie pasado, la mano que cerró de golpe 
y trabó la puerta, después parado para wreathe los clematis 
lluvia-rotos detrás en el enrejado para nadie motivo excepto sus el 
propios. Sé la carta clavada a los cartones de yeso la caldera helada 
que se pone en cuclillas en la hornilla. Las manos que martillaron en 
esos clavos vaciaron que la caldera una vez última es estas dos manos 
y han cogido a bebé que saltaba entre de las piernas del temblor y 
han trabajado el aspirador del vacío y frotado ligeramente los 
templos sudados y dirigido el barco con este caliente misblotted luz 
del sol, luz crítica que escaldaba imperceptiblemente la piel que 
estas manos quieren también el salve.

But an honourable relationship, she reminds us, is one in which “we are trying , all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us … of life between us.” When we are not able to speak authentically, our relationships spiral downward, as does our sense of integrity and self-regard.” (p.4-5) ...
