When I was only three or four,

Kada su mi bile tek tri ili četiri godine,
00:15
I fell in love with poetry,
1
3285
2468
zaljubila sam se u poeziju,
00:17
with the rhythms
and the music of language;

u ritam i muzikalnost jezika;
00:20
with the power of metaphor and of imagery,
3

3643
zaljubila sam se u moć metafore i slika,
00:24
poetry being the essence
of communication --

12579
2762
kako je poezija suština komunikacije -
00:27
the discipline, the distillation.
5
15365
2707
disciplina, destilacija.
00:30
And all these years later,
the poems I'll read today

I sve ove godine potom,
pesme koje ću vam čitati danas

Well, five years ago, I was diagnosed
with Parkinson's disease.
with Parkinson's disease.
8
26199
4127
Pa, pre pet godina, dijagnostikovana mi je
Parkinsonova bolest.
Parkinsonova bolest.
00:42
Though there's no cure yet,
9
30874
1920
Iako još uvek nema leka,
00:44
advances in treatment
are really impressive.

10
32818
2786
napreci u lečenju su zaista impresivni.
00:47
But you can imagine
that I was appalled to learn

11
35985
2990
Ali možete da zamislite
kako sam zgrožena bila saznanjem
kako sam zgrožena bila saznanjem
00:50
that women are largely
left out of research trials,
left out of research trials,
12
38999
4494
da žene uglavnom izostavljaju
u istraživačkim opitima,

00:55
despite gender-specific
medical findings having demonstrated

13
43517
3521
iako su rodno specifična
medicinska istraživanja pokazala
medicinska istraživanja pokazala
00:59
that we are not actually just small men --
14
47062
2659
da mi zapravo nismo
prosto sitni muškarci -
prosto sitni muškarci -
01:01
(Laughter)
15
49746
2096
(Smeh)
01:03
who happen to have
different reproductive systems.

Gender-specific medicine
is good for men, too.

Rodno specifična medicina

01:10
But you bring to a crisis
the person you already are,
the person you already are,
18
58325
4753
Ali dovodite u krizu
osobu koja već jeste,
osobu koja već jeste,
01:15
including the, yes, momentum
that you've learned to invoke
that you've learned to invoke
19
63102
3873
uključujući, da, impuls
koji ste naučili da prizivate
koji ste naučili da prizivate
01:18
through passionate caring
and through action,
and through action,
20
66999
3309
kroz strastvenu brigu i kroz delanje,
01:22
both of which require
but also create energy.

21
70332

a oboje zahtevaju,
ali i stvaraju energiju.

01:27
So as an activist, I began working
with the Parkinson's Disease Foundation --
with the Parkinson's Disease Foundation --
22
75470
4286
Pa sam kao aktivistkinja počela da radim
za Fondaciju za Parkinsonovu bolest -
za Fondaciju za Parkinsonovu bolest -
01:31
that's pdf.org --
23
79780
2181
to je pdf.org -
01:33
to create a major initiative to put women
on the Parkinson's disease map.
on the Parkinson's disease map.
24
81985
6739
kako bih pokrenula važnu inicijativu da se
žene stave na mapu Parkinsonove bolesti.
žene stave na mapu Parkinsonove bolesti.
01:41
And as a poet, I began working
with this subject matter,
with this subject matter,
25
89819
3225
A kao pesnikinja, počela sam
da se bavim ovom problematikom,
da se bavim ovom problematikom,
01:45
finding it tragic, hilarious,
sometimes even joyful.
sometimes even joyful.
26
93068
4724
pronalazeći je tragičnom, urnebesnom,
ponekad čak i prijatnom.
ponekad čak i prijatnom.
01:50
I do not feel diminished by Parkinson's;
27
98136
2587
Ne osećam se umanjenom zbog Parkinsona;
01:52
I feel distilled by it,
28
100747
2625
već destilovanom
01:55
and I actually very much
like the woman I'm distilling into.
like the woman I'm distilling into.
29
103396
4438
i zapravo mi se veoma sviđa
žena u koju se destilujem.

Growing small requires enormity of will:
31
112569
4050
Ogromna volja je potrebna da se smanjiš:
02:08
just sitting still
in the doctor's waiting room
in the doctor's waiting room
32
116643
2588
prosto da mirno sediš
u čekaonici kod doktora,
u čekaonici kod doktora,
02:11
watching the future shuffle in and out,
33
119255
3586
posmatraš budućnost
kako se prikrada i iskrada,
kako se prikrada i iskrada,
02:14
watching it stoop; stare at you
34
122865
2743
posmatraš kako posrće; zuri u tebe
02:17
while you try not to look.
35
125632
1962
dok se ti trudiš da ne gledaš.
02:20
Rare is an exchange:
36
128213
1643
Retke su razmene:
02:21
a smile of brief, wry recognition.
37
129880
3143
osmeh kratkog, hladnog prepoznavanja.
02:25
You are the new kid on the block.
38
133917
1799
Nova si u ulici.
02:28
Everyone here was you once.
39
136192
2160
Svi su ovde nekad bili ti.
02:30
You are still learning that growing small
requires a largeness of spirit
requires a largeness of spirit
40
138791
4207
Još uvek učiš da smanjivanje
zahteva širinu duha
zahteva širinu duha
02:35
you can't fit into yet:
41
143022
2459
u koju još ne možeš da se uklopiš:
02:37
acceptance of irritating help
from those who love you;
from those who love you;
42
145505
3949
iritirajuću pomoć da prihavtiš
onih koji te vole;
onih koji te vole;
02:41
giving way and over, but not up.
43
149478
3084
daješ se i odaješ, ali se ne predaješ.
02:45
You've swallowed hard the contents
of the "Drink Me" bottle,
of the "Drink Me" bottle,
44
153494
3228
S mukom si progutala sadržaj
"Popij me" boce
"Popij me" boce
02:48
and felt yourself shrink.
45
156746
2185
i osetila si da se skupljaš.
02:51
Now, familiar furniture looms,
46
159576
2743
Sad se poznati nameštaj jedva nazire,
02:54
floors tilt, and doorknobs yield only
when wrestled round with both hands.
when wrestled round with both hands.
47
162343
4786
podovi se nagibaju, a kvake tek pokleknu
nakon rvanja obema rukama.
nakon rvanja obema rukama.
02:59
It demands colossal patience,
all this growing small:
all this growing small:
48
167685
4870
Kolosalno strpljenje zahteva
sve ovo smanjivanje:
sve ovo smanjivanje:
03:04
your diminished sleep at night,
49
172579
1896
tvoj sve kraći noćni san,
03:06
your handwriting, your voice, your height.
50
174499
3429
tvoj rukopis, tvoj glas, tvoj stas.
03:10
You are more the incredible
shrinking woman
shrinking woman
51
178668
3225
Pre si neverovatna skupljajuća žena
03:13
than the Buddhist mystic,
serene, making do with less.
serene, making do with less.
52
181917
3923
nego budistički mistik,
koji se spokojno snalazi s malo.
koji se spokojno snalazi s malo.
03:17
Less is not always more.
53
185864
2781
Manje nije uvek više.
03:21
Yet in this emptying space,
space glimmers,
space glimmers,
54
189560
4580
Ipak, u ovom sve praznijem prostoru,
prostor svetluca,
prostor svetluca,
03:26
becoming visible.
55
194164
1634
postaje vidljiv.
03:28
Here is a place behind the eyes
of those accustomed
of those accustomed
56
196115
3359
To je prostor vidljiv
onima koji su navikli
onima koji su navikli
03:31
by what some would call diminishment.
57
199498
3269
na ono što neki bi nazvali nestajanjem.
03:35
It is a place of merciless poetry,
58
203468
3675
To je prostor nemilosrdne poezije,
03:39
a gift of presence previously ignored,
59
207167
3319
dar prisutnosti nekad zanemarivane,
03:42
drowned in the daily clutter.
60
210510
2069
utapane u larmi svakodnevice.
03:45
Here every gesture needs intention,
61
213357
3081
Ovde svaki gest zahteva nameru,
03:48
is alive with consciousness.
62
216462
2006
ispunjen je svesnošću.
03:50
Nothing is automatic.
63
218886
1460
Ništa nije automatizovano.
03:53
You can spot it
in the provocation of a button,
in the provocation of a button,
64
221192
3469
Možete to spaziti u provokaciji dugmeta,
03:56
an arm poking at a sleeve,
65
224685
2213
ruci dok se probija kroz rukav,
03:58
a balancing act at a night-time curb
while negotiating the dark.
while negotiating the dark.
66
226922
4349
noćnom balansiranju po ivicama
dok pregovarate s tminom.
dok pregovarate s tminom.
04:04
Feats of such modest valor,
67
232133
3034
Poduhvati tako skromnog junaštva,
04:07
who would suspect them to be exercises
in an intimate, fierce discipline,

68
235191
5304
ko bi ikad pomislio da bi mogli biti vežbe
intimne, svirepe discipline,
intimne, svirepe discipline,
04:12
a metaphysics of being relentlessly aware?
69
240519
3301
metafizike stanja neumoljive svesnosti?
04:16
Such understated power here,
70
244667
2785
Koliko podcenjene snage je tu,
04:19
in these tottering dancers
who exert stupendous effort

71
247476
4288
u ovim klecavim plesačima
koji pokazuju čudesan napor

04:23
on tasks most view as insignificant.

koje mnogi cene nevažnim.
koje mnogi cene nevažnim.
04:27
Such quiet beauty here, in these,
73
255572
3341
Koliko je tihe lepote tu, u ovim
04:30
my soft-voiced, stiff-limbed people;
74
258937
4273
mojim ljudima mekog glasa, ukočenih udova;
04:35
such resolve masked by each placid face.
75
263234
3698
svaki mirni lik krije veliku odlučnost.
04:39
There is immensity required
in growing small,
in growing small,
76
267937
4593
Smanjivanje zahteva beskonačnost,
04:44
so bent on such unbending grace.
77
272554
3011
zato pokorimo ovu nepokornu milost.
04:48

05:14
Odd that the modest brain never
imagined its unique value in research,

Čudno da skromni mozak nikad nije pomislio
na svoj jedinstven značaj u istraživanju,

This was a brain that paid its dues.

Zbog čaše vina ili dve sad krivudam
07:20
as if acting the drunkard's part;
123
428266
2862
kao da igram ulogu pijanca;
07:23
as if, besotted with unrequited love
124
431152
3346
kao da me ošamutila neuzvraćena ljubav
07:26
for the dynamic Turner canvasses
spied out by the Hubble,

07:30
I could lurch down a city street set

Mogu se zateturati dole na ulici
07:32
without provoking
every pedestrian walk-on stare.

127

07:37
Stare as long as you need to.
128

Zurite koliko vam volja.
07:40
If you think about it, walking,
even standing, is illogical --

Ako razmislite o tome, hodanje,
čak i stajanje je nelogično -

Besides, creature of extremes and excess,

Osim toga, kao biće
krajnosti i neumerenosti,

08:00
I've always thought Apollo
beautiful but boring,

oduvek sam Apolona smatrala
lepim, al' dosadnim
lepim, al' dosadnim
08:03
and a bit of a dumb blonde.

i pomalo glupavim plavušanom.
08:06
Dionysians don't do balance.
137
474771

Dionizijevci ne znaju za ravnotežu.
08:10
Balance, in other words,
has never been my strong point.

But I digress.

Ali upadam u digresije.
08:16
More and more these days,
140

Sve više ovih dana,
08:17
digression seems
the most direct route through

485535
2998
čini se da su digresije
najdirektnije trase kroz
najdirektnije trase kroz
08:20
from where I've lost or found myself
142
488557
2077
mesta gde sam izgubila ili našla sebe,
08:22
out of place, mind, turn, time.
143
490658
3691
van prostora, uma, pravca, vremena.
08:27
Place your foot just so,
mind how you turn:

Položi stopalo tako da paziš kako skrećeš:
08:31
too swift a swivel can bring you down.
145
499582
2777
suviše hitro i obrt će te oboriti.
08:35
Take your time ushering the audience out,
146
503206
2928
Samo polako, isprati gledaoce napolje,
08:38
saying goodbye to the actors.
147
506158
2032
reci zbogom glumcima.
08:41
The ghost light

Fantomskim svetlom
08:42
is what they call the single bulb
149

zovu usamljenu sijalicu
08:44
hanging above the bare stage
in an empty theater.

koja visi nad ogoljenom scenom
u ispražnjenom pozorištu.

08:48
In the empty theater of such a night,
151
516655
2313
U ispražnjenom pozorištu u ovakvoj noći,
08:50
waking to meet no external radiance,
152
518992
3818
budiš se i ne nalaziš
nikakav spoljašnji sjaj,
nikakav spoljašnji sjaj,
08:54
this is the final struggle left to win,
153
522834
3192
ovo je poslednja bitka za pobedu,
08:58
this the sole beacon
to beckon the darkness in
to beckon the darkness in
154
526050
3235
ovo je poslednji svetionik
koji obasjava tminu

09:01
and let the rest begin,
155
529309
2645
i njime sve ostale stvari počinju,
09:03
this the lens through which at last
to see both Self and Other

156
531978

sočivo kroz koje konačno
vidiš i Sebe i Drugo

arrayed with the bright stain
of original sin:

greha prvobitnog:

Late summer, 4 A.M.

Leto je pozno, četiri ujutru.
09:32
The rain slows to a stop,
163
560674
2346
Kiša polako prestaje,
09:35
dripping still from the broad leaves
164
563044
2248
još uvek kaplje sa širokog lišća
09:37
of blue hostas unseen
in the garden's dark.

165
565316

modrih hosta koje se ne vide
u baštenskoj tmini.
u baštenskoj tmini.
09:41
Barefoot, careful
on the slick slate slabs,
on the slick slate slabs,
166
569259
3694
Bosonogo, oprezno
po skliskim pločastim škriljcima,
po skliskim pločastim škriljcima,
09:44
I need no light, I know the way,
167
572977
3283
nije mi potrebno svetlo, poznajem taj put,
09:48
stoop by the mint bed,
168
576284
1879
poginjem se nad prostirkom od nane,
09:50
scoop a fistful of moist earth,
169
578187
2805
zahvatam pregršt vlažne zemlje,
09:53
then grope for a chair,
170
581016
1708
potom napipavam stolicu,
09:54
spread a shawl, and sit,
171
582748
2654
prostirem šal i sedam,
09:57
breathing in the wet green August air.
172
585426
3758
udišući mokri zeleni avgustovski vazduh.
10:02
This is the small, still hour
173
590240
2990
Ovo je sitan, miran čas
10:05
before the newspaper
lands in the vestibule like a grenade,
lands in the vestibule like a grenade,
174
593254
3814
pre nego što novine
poput granate slete u predvorje,
poput granate slete u predvorje,
10:09
the phone shrills, the computer screen
blinks and glares awake.
blinks and glares awake.
175
597092
4571
telefon zapišti, ekran kompjutera
zatreperi i zablešti budan.
zatreperi i zablešti budan.
10:14
There is this hour:
176
602643
2180
Ovaj čas je tu:
10:16
poem in my head, soil in my hand:
177
604847
3976
u glavi mi je pesma, u rukama zemlja:
10:20
unnamable fullness.
178
608847
1946
bezimena punoća.
10:23
This hour, when blood of my blood
179
611662
2583
Ovaj čas , u kome krv krvi moje,
10:26
bone of bone, child grown
to manhood now --
to manhood now --
180
614269
4032
kost kosti moje, dete odraslo je
do muževnosti već -
do muževnosti već -
10:30
stranger, intimate,
not distant but apart --
not distant but apart --
181
618325
5464
stranac, prisan, ne dalek, već udaljen -
10:35
lies safe, off dreaming melodies
182
623813
3734
leži bezbedno, sanjajući daleke melodije
10:39
while love sleeps, safe, in his arms.
183
627571
3529
dok mu ljubav spava,
bezbedno, u zagrljaju.
bezbedno, u zagrljaju.
10:43
To have come to this place,
184
631735
2605
Stići do ovog mesta,
10:46
lived to this moment:
185
634364
2091
proživeti do ovog trena:
10:48
immeasurable lightness.
186
636479
2115
bezmerne lakoće.
10:51
The density of black starts to blur umber.
187
639392
2921
Gustina tame počinje da magli braonkasto.
10:54
Tentative, a cardinal's coloratura,
188
642789
2978
Privremeni, jarkocrveni kolorit,
10:57
then the mourning dove's elegy.
189
645791
2011
a potom tugaljiva golubija elegija.
11:00
Sable glimmers toward grey;
190
648390
2390
Samurovina bledi ka sivoj;
11:02
objects emerge, trailing shadows;
191
650804
3168
predmeti izranjaju, vukući senke;
11:05
night ages toward day.
192
653996
1975
noć stari ka danu.
11:08
The city stirs.
193
656540
1466
Grad se komeša.
11:10
There will be other dawns,
nights, gaudy noons.
nights, gaudy noons.
194
658958
3900
Biće još zora, noći, bleštavih podneva.
11:15
Likely, I'll lose my way.
195
663460
1957
Verovatno ću zalutati.
11:17
There will be stumbling, falling,
196
665860
2412
Biće posrtanja, padanja,
11:20
cursing the dark.
197
668296
1241
proklinjanja tmine.
11:22
Whatever comes,
198
670490
1620
Šta god da se desi,
11:24
there was this hour when nothing mattered,
199
672134
3947
postojao je ovaj čas
u kom ništa nije bilo važno,
u kom ništa nije bilo važno,
11:28
all was unbearably dear.
200
676105
2681
sve je bilo nepodnošljivo drago.
11:31
And when I'm done with daylights,
201
679890
2226
I kad minu moji dani,
11:34
should those who loved me
grieve too long a while,
grieve too long a while,
202
682140
4961
neka oni koji me vole
ne oplakuju odveć, pak,
ne oplakuju odveć, pak,
11:39
let them remember that I had this hour --
203
687125
3229
neka se sete da imala sam ovaj čas -
11:42
this dark, perfect hour --
204
690378
3608
ovaj mračni, savršeni čas -
11:46
and smile.
205
694010
1402
i neka se nasmeše.
11:48
Thank you.
206
696418
1154
Hvala vam.
