Christian Morgenstern,
The Banshee (An Approach)

 
translated by Sven Collberg   translated by Max Knight
 
En varulv lopp från fru m.m.   One night, a banshee slunk away
en vacker afton samt begav   from mate and child, and in the gloom
sig till en bymagisters grav   went to a village teacher’s tomb,
och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera.   requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”
 
mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp   The village teacher climbed up straight
på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp   upon his grave stone with its plate
med svar till den, som satt på pass   and to the apparition said
med tåligt korslagd tass på tass.   who meekly knelt before the dead:
 
“Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,   “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;
du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så   the banHERS, the possessive case.
vi voro-ulv, I voren. På   The banHER, next, is what they call
de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”   objective case--and that is all.”
 
Varulven myste glad åt hur   The banshee marveled at the cases
pers. hade följts av sing. och plur.   and writhed with pleasure, making faces,
“Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens   but said: “You did not add, so far,
en enda pers. i tempus presens?”   the plural to the singular!”
 
Bekänna måste vår magister,   The teacher, though, admitted then
att därvidlag fanns vissa brister.   that this was not within his ken.
En varulv sine imperfecto   “While bans are frequent”, he advised,
var contradictio in adjecto.   “A she cannot be plurized.”
 
Varulven satt med tårad lins.   The banshee, rising clammily,
Han visste att han fanns och finns.   wailed: “What about my family?”
Därtill kom också fru m.m.   Then, being not a learned creature,
som även måste existera.   said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.
