Poem
Herberto Helder
Mirror against mirror: image
Mirror against mirror: imageborn of the image, oh miraculous
depths of the self, fountain hidden
inside its frame, light created
so that the light will be seen.

Mirror against mirror: image
Um espelho em frente de um espelho: imagem
que arranca da imagem, oh
maravilha do profundo de si, fonte fechada
na sua obra, luz que se faz
para se ver a luz.
que arranca da imagem, oh
maravilha do profundo de si, fonte fechada
na sua obra, luz que se faz
para se ver a luz.
