Christian Morgenstern, | Christian Morgenstern, | Christian Morgenstern, | ||
| translated by Alexander Gross | translated by Hans Eiseneck | translated by Max Knight | ||
| A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | Un hechicero, con esposa | One night, a banshee slunk away | ||
| Left wife and brood one night and came | vino un día a la fosa | from mate and child, and in the gloom | ||
| To a hidden graveyard to enlist | de su maestro, y al profesor | went to a village teacher’s tomb, | ||
| The aid of a long-dead philologist. | pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!” | requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | ||
| “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | El profesor sin vacilar | The village teacher climbed up straight | ||
| He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | subió y comenzó a hablar. | upon his grave stone with its plate | ||
| The seer arose a bit unsteady | Desde allá de su letrero | and to the apparition said | ||
| Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | se dirigió al hechicero: | who meekly knelt before the dead: | ||
| “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | “El hechiuno” le explica, | “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | ||
| While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | “el hechidos” después indica, | the banHERS, the possessive case. | ||
| There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | “el hechitres” dice al fin, | The banHER, next, is what they call | ||
| And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | “con eso basta ¡chiquitín!” | objective case--and that is all.” | ||
| “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | El hechicero, conmovido | The banshee marveled at the cases | ||
| The future form and participle | por lo que capta su oído, | and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | ||
| Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | al maestro ruega, encantado, | but said: “You did not add, so far, | ||
| The scholar paused--again he tried: | que le adjunte un quebrado. | the plural to the singular!” | ||
| “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | Pero el profesor confiesa | The teacher, though, admitted then | ||
| ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | que nada sabe con certeza: | that this was not within his ken. | ||
| Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | “Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros | “While bans are frequent”, he advised, | ||
| I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | únicamente hay enteros.” | “A she cannot be plurized.” | ||
| The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | El brujo se volvió muy triste: | The banshee, rising clammily, | ||
| At home, and homewards now he crept, | “Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?” | wailed: “What about my family?” | ||
| Happy, humble, without apology | Ya que no era sabio | Then, being not a learned creature, | ||
| For such folly of philology. | con gratitud se despidió. | said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | ||
