SONG OF THE COSMOS, by Attila József, a sonnet wreath (crown), translated by J. W. Cassandra. The entire poemconsists of a dedication-poem to poet Gyula Juhász, who was the poet’s paternal good friend and who jubilated in 1923 his own 25 years jubilee of his poetry then, with other poets, as well, among them with Attila József. The poet of THE SONG OF THE COSMOS at that time was only 18 years old. I give a link of his biography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_Jzsef The translation is made by J. W. Cassandra, that is me. I couldn’t find any translation, since this poem is intricate. Considering its difficulty in interpretation, I strived to render the meaning of the sonnets mainly literally. The sonnets make a circle of cosmos, they show a caleidoscope of life, as for me. The sonnet wreath (crown) consists of 15 different sonnets, each of them writes about an other theme, but the forst verses of the strophes reiterate the last one of the previous strophe. In the end, the so-called master sonnet unites all of them by the 1st verses of the strophes. I share the original, Hungarian version, as well. I hope, I could render enough well Attila József’s artwork. One more note: in 1950, there was founded a poetic award, named by Attila József in Hungary. In addition, we celebrate in our country the Day of Poetry on his birthday every year, on 11 April.
Libation, by J. W. Cassandra: my poem for Epiphany. It belongs to my volume 13, “Ten Thousand-fold Day (Sun)”, to cycle “Epiphany-promise”. The original word, ‘nap’ in Hungarian is a homonym, it means equally ‘sun and ‘day’, we decide its meaning by the text. Libation here refers to sacrifice. It was written in 2017, translated just now, by me. The photo is an illustration from the net. I share it both in English and Hungarian. I hope, you will enjoy my poem.

मेरी कविता का आधार आज की नारी शक्ति के लिएं है। जैसे कि जमाना बहुत तेज़ी से आगे बढ़ रहा है लेकिन स्त्रियों के लिए आज भी वही पाबंदी और रोक टोक जारी है। एक स्त्री क्या सोचती है अपनी ज़िन्दगी के बारे में बस उसी भावना को इस रचना में मैंने वयक्त किया है।।
