Oda a la cebolla Pablo Neruda, 1954 Cebolla luminosa redoma, pétalo a pétalo se formó tu hermosura, escamas de cristal te acrecentaron y en el secreto de la tierra oscura se redondeó tu vientre de rocío. Bajo la tierra fue el milagro y cuando apareció tu torpe tallo verde, y nacieron tus hojas como espadas en el huerto, la tierra acumuló su poderío mostrando tu desnuda transparencia, y como en Afrodita el mar remoto duplicó la magnolia levantando sus senos, la tierra así te hizo, cebolla, clara como un planeta, y destinada a relucir, constelación constante, redonda rosa de agua, sobre la mesa de las pobres gentes. Generosa deshaces tu globo de frescura en la consumación ferviente de la olla, y el jirón de cristal al calor encendido del aceite se transforma en rizada pluma de oro. También recordaré cómo fecunda tu influencia el amor de la ensalada y parece que el cielo contribuye dándote fina forma de granizo a celebrar tu claridad picada sobre los hemisferios de un tomate. Pero al alcance de las manos del pueblo, regada con aceite, espolvoreada con un poco de sal, matas el hambre del jornalero en el duro camino. Estrella de los pobres, hada madrina envuelta en delicado papel, sales del suelo, eterna, intacta, pura como semilla de astro, y al cortarte el cuchillo en la cocina sube la única lágrima sin pena. Nos hiciste llorar sin afligirnos. Yo cuanto existe celebré, cebolla, pero para mí eres más hermosa que un ave de plumas cegadoras, eres para mis ojos globo celeste, copa de platino, baile inmóvil de anémona nevada y vive la fragancia de la tierra en tu naturaleza cristalina. Mueller 50
Ode to the onion Maria Jacketti, 1995 Onion, luminous globe, petal by petal, your splendor appeared: crystal scales multiplied within your essence, and beneath the secret of the rich earth, your dewy bely grew round. The miracle was born underground, and when your heavy green stem appeared, and your leaves were born like swords in the vegetable patch, the earth accumulated riches, exposing your naked transparency, and as with Aphrodite, the remote sea imitated the magnolia by lifting its breasts; likewise, the earth created you, onion, clear as a planet, and destined to shine, a steadfast constellation, round sea rose on poverty’s table. Endowed with abundance, you break your fresh globe in sizzling marriage with the stew pot; when you touch hot oil, crystal slivers become curled feathers of gold. Mueller 51 I will also remember your abundant and loving influenceon salads; it seems the sky also contributed, giving you the fine form of hail in celebration of your diced clarity when sprinkled over the tomato’s planetary halves. But when you reach the hands of the people, dappled with oil, and dusted with a little salt, you silence a worker’s hunger along difficult roads. Star of the poor, fairy godmother sheathed in airy paper, you exit the earth, eternal, untouched, pure: a star-seed. And when the kitchen knife slices you, a painless tear is shed. You made us cry without affliction. Throughout my days, I’ve celebrated the onion. In my eyes you are more lovely than a bird with blinding feathers. In my eyes you are a celestial globe, a platinum cup, the quiescent dance of an anemone in the snow. And the fragrance of the land lives within your crystalline nature.
