Sylvia Plath: Metaphors (English)

 
I'm a riddle in nine syllables, 
An elephant, a ponderous house, 
A melon strolling on two tendrils. 
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! 
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising. 
Money's new-minted in this fat purse. 
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf. 
I've eaten a bag of green apples, 
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

Sylvia Plath: Métaphores (French)

 
Je suis une énigme dans neuf syllabes, un éléphant, une maison 
lourde, melon de A flânant sur deux tendrils. Fruit rouge de O, 
ivoire, bois de construction fins ! Ce pain grand avec son se lever de 
levure. Argent nouveau-minted dans cette grosse bourse. Je suis des 
moyens, une étape, une vache chez le veau. J'ai mangé un sac des 
pommes vertes, embarqué le train là n'est aucun descendre.

Elfenbein, feine Bauhölzer! Dieses Laibs groß mit seinem hefigen 
Steigen. Geldes neu-minted in diesem fetten Geldbeutel. Ich bin 
Mittel, ein Stadium, eine Kuh im Kalb. Ich habe einen Beutel der 
grünen Äpfel gegessen, verschalt dem Zug dort bin kein weg erhalten.

vaca na vitela. Eu não comi um saco de maçãs verdes, boarded o trem 
lá sou nenhum começar fora.

The two sides are unable to live harmoniously ...
