Ο ΑΓΓΕΛΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑΣ

PAUL KLEE, Angelus Novus, 1920

"A Klee painting named 'Angelus Novus' shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."

¿Qué he sacado con la luna
que los dos miramos juntos?
¿Qué he sacado con los nombres
estampados en el muro?
Como cambia el calendario,
cambia todo en este mundo.
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!

 ¿Qué he sacado con el lirio
que plantamos en el patio?
No era uno el que plantaba;
eran dos enamorados.
Hortelano, tu plantío
con el tiempo no ha cambiado.
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!

 ¿Qué he sacado con la sombra
del aromo por testigo,
y los cuatro pies marcados
en la orilla del camino?
¿Qué he sacado con quererte,
clavelito florecido?
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!

 Aquí está la misma luna,
y en el patio el blanco lirio,
los dos nombres en el muro,
y tu rastro en el camino.
Pero tú, palomo ingrato,
ya no arrullas en mi nido.
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
