William Shakespeare - Our revels now are ended / Τώρα η παράσταση μας τέλειωσε.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, 
As I foretold you, were all spirits and 
Are melted into air, into thin air: 
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, 
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, 
The solemn temples, the great globe itself, 
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve 
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, 
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff 
As dreams are made on, and our little life 
Is rounded with a sleep. 
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
From The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1

Il nostro spettacolo è finito.Questi nostri attori,
come ti avevo predetto,erano tutti spiriti e
sono svaniti nell’ aria, nella sottile aria
E, come l’edificio senza fondamenta di questa visione,
le torri ricoperte dalle nubi, i maestosi palazzi,
i templi solenni, lo stesso grande globo
si, e tutto ciò nel suo interno, tutto si dissolverà
e, come questo incosistente spettacolo sbiadito, 
tutto svanira senza lasciare traccia
Noi siamo della stessa materia di cui sono fatti i sogni
e la nostra piccola vita è circondata da un sonno.
(Trad. Velvet)

Τώρα η παράσταση μας τέλειωσε. Αυτοί οι θεατρίνοι
οπως σας προείπα, ήταν ολοι πνεύματα
και διαλύθηκαν στον αέρα, στον λεπτεπίλεπτο αέρα
Και όπως το αθεμελίωτο οικοδόμημα αυτού του οράματος
οι νεφελοσκέπαστοι πύργοι, τα μεγαλοπρεπή παλάτια
οι ιεροί ναοί, κι αυτή η απέραντη σφαίρα
ναι, και όσα χωράει εντός της, ολα θα εξαφανιστούν 
όπως ετούτο το ξεθωριασμένο άυλο θέαμα 
ολα θ' αφανιστούν δίχως να μείνει ίχνος
Είμαστε πλασμένοι απο την ίδια ύλη που είναι φτιαγμένα τα όνειρα
και η μικρή ζωή μας περιβάλλεται από έναν ύπνο.
Γουίλιαμ Σαίξπηρ  (1564-1616)
Απόσπασμα απο την "Τρικυμία" 
(Μετάφραση - Velvet)
