Mina Loy (Gran Bretaña)

 There is no Life or Death
There is no Life or Death
Only activity

And in the absolute

Is no declivity.

There is no Love or Lust

Only propensity

Who would possess

Is a nonentity.

There is no First or Last

Only equality

And who would rule

Joins the majority.

There is no Space or Time

Only intensity,

And tame things

Have no immensity.


No hay Vida o Muerte

No hay Vida o Muerte
Sólo actividad
Y en el Absoluto
No hay declinación.
No hay Amor o Lujuria
Sólo propensión
Aquello que se posesiona
Es una no-entidad.
No hay Primero o Último
Sólo igualdad
Y quien manda
Se une a la mayoría.
No hay Espacio o Tiempo
Sólo intensidad,
Y las cosas domesticadas
No tienen inmensidad.


Trad. H.Yépez



Mina Loy - British bohemian Mina Loy became a Dada ally by way of her writings. Another well-known Greenwich Village figure, Loy enjoyed provoking the status quo (and all its gender norms) — evidenced in the work she published in modernist poetry mag Others. “We looked too wholesome in Court representing filthy literature,” she once recalled after the publication’s editors were forced before judge and jury.
