Elizabeth Bishop: Sonnet (1979) (English)

 
Caught -- the bubble 
in the spirit level, 
a creature divided; 
and the compass needle 
wobbling and wavering, 
undecided. 
Freed -- the broken 
thermometer's mercury 
running away; 
and the rainbow-bird 
from the narrow bevel 
of the empty mirror, 
flying wherever 
it feels like, gay!

Évêque D'Elizabeth: sonnet (1979) (French)

 
Attrapé -- la bulle au niveau d'esprit, une créature divisée; et 
l'aiguille de boussole vacillant et hésitation, irrésolue. Libéré 
-- le mercure du thermomètre cassé fonctionnant loin; et 
l'arc-en-ciel-oiseau du biseau étroit du miroir vide, volant partout 
où il se sent comme, gai !

Elizabeth Bishop: Sonett (1979) (German)

 
Verfangen -- die Luftblase im Geistniveau, ein Geschöpf geteilt; und 
die Kompaßnadel, die, unbestimmt flattert und zögert. Freigegeben -- 
das defekten Quecksilber des Thermometers, das weg läuft; und der 
Regenbogen-Vogel von der schmalen Schrägfläche des leeren Spiegels, 
fliegend, wohin er wie glaubt, homosexuell!

Bishop De Elizabeth: Sonnet (1979) (Portuguese)

 
Travado -- a bolha no nível do espírito, uma criatura dividida; e a 
agulha do compasso que balança e wavering, undecided. Livrado -- o 
mercúrio do termômetro quebrado que funciona afastado; e o 
arco-íris-pássaro do chanfro estreito do espelho vazio, voando onde 
quer que sente como, gay!

Obispo De Elizabeth: Sonnet (1979) (Spanish)

 
Cogido -- la burbuja en el nivel del alcohol, criatura dividida; y la 
aguja del compás que bambolea y duda, indecisa. Liberado -- el 
mercurio del termómetro quebrado que funciona lejos; ¡y el arco 
iris-pa'jaro del cartabón estrecho del espejo vacío, volando 
dondequiera que se sienta como, gay!
