by Josep Carner i Puigoriol (1884 - 1970)
Joc d'aigua
Language: Catalan (Català)
Al llac de cent nimfees encantades, eros, etern en el seu marbre pur, porta a la mà les aigües irisades, joguina de la llum i de l'atzur. I en veure-les al vent, assolellades, tal volta es diu: -oh piadós conjur! Aigües dorments que jeien endebades sota la terra o el brostall obscur. Esgarriades o menys conegudes fetes al dol, per a tothom perdudes, jo vull que vinguin per al breu delit; les alço, i en la llum renovellaire canten, fulguren una estona enlaire, sense retret quan cauen tot seguit.
