Lőrinc Szabó: The Dream of Dsuang Dsi 

Two thousand years ago my master

said to me pointing at a butterfly,

I have dreamed something confusing, 

confusing and I do not know why—

A butterfly, he said, yes I was,

dancing happily in the sun, 

and now I do not know if my dream 

has just ended or just begun,

oh I do not know, he continued,

what is the truth, which one could I be, 

which one of us dreamed the other, 

which one is reality?

I laughed, it is you, Dsuang Dsi,

you are Dsuang Dsi, you!

He smiled and said, the butterfly 

also believed its truth! 

He kept smiling, I just shrugged,

but it sent shivers down my spine,

I started thinking but found no answer

for two thousand years of time,

now I believe that nothing is real,

all is but pictures and poetry, 

that Dsuang Dsi dreamed the butterfly,

the butterfly him, and all three of us, me.
