Now / Tanikawa Shuntaro
English translation: William I. Elliott and Kawamura Kazuo.
Brilliance can illuminate anything.
As long as I live in the present moment
And love it unstintingly,
Everything kindly forgets me.
In a song that is ever silent
signs of God are faintly felt
and all at once, in the silent sweep of space,
I am conscious of this moment.
When I believe in this moment in all its richness,
Even though I am aware of death,
I am free.
Passion can fill anything
Under the silently shining sun and sky
Which are overflowing.

Untitled poem by E. E. Cummings
somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

From ronit Matalon's novel "The Sound of Our Steps" (in Hebrew)
הסוד, החבוי מן העין והשקוף, הוא הטוב, לא הרע, האהבה היא הסוד ולא חוסר-האהבה, המופע הדק של חסד האושר מוסתר על-ידי היריד הפתייני של הסבל, נמשך מאחוריו כמו כרכרת אויר שקופה, כמו החדר הריק שטווה סיפור משלו: שהבלש, שלוחו של הצדק וציידו של הרע, לוכד משהו בחדר הריק, המוצפן והשקוף, אבל לא את הפושע או את המעשה הנפשע בדמותה של הגוויה, אלא את היפוכם – את החסד
