Yang Terpijak

Send Me a Leaf

Send me a leaf, but from a bush
That grows at least one half hour
Away from your house, then
You must go and will be strong, and I
Thank you for the pretty leaf.

Bertolt Brecht



Sampaikan padaku sepucuk daun

Sampaikan padaku sepucuk daun, dari sesemakan liar
tumbuhnya sejarak satu jam setengah
Dari rumahmu,

Lalu
Pergilah dan kuatkan dirimu,

Dan kusampaikan
terima kasih 'tuk daun yang indah . . .

"There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that play the devil" (Alfred North Whitehead).
