Píseň o nejbližší vině

Báseň Jana Skácela ze sbírky Dávné proso (1981). Hudbu složil, hraje a zpívá Alexander Goldscheider. Angický překlad Václav Z.J. Pinkava: SONG OF PROXIMATE BLAME There is a wellspring with blood brimming and each has drunk from it before and someone killed a pendulinus and someone did great harm therefore And then he felt regret and sorrow and in his hands cupped water clear and up against the light he scanned it and fearing much held back no fear And holding he could not contain it water through fingers my God gone and broke stone in the empty quarry and begged in vain: himself to stone And holding he could not contain it and fearing much held back no fear and the wellspring is with blood brimming and each one has stood by too near
