Translation of Eric Mottram's TIME SIGHT UNSEEN, Part One by T. Wignesan

"Instead of an item in a school of rhetoric, the poem could have variety of articulations, continuity and discontinuity, sentence and parataxis, and an awareness of the imaginative possibilities of relationship between particles".
Eric Mottram.

December 29, 1924 - January 17, 1995, prolific poet, editor of the Poetry Review (organ of The Poetry Society in England during the seventies), eminent critic (Times Literary Supplement) and Emeritus Professor of English and American Literature at King's College, University of London in 1990. He won a scholarship from Blackpool Grammar School to Cambridge, but chose to join the Royal Navy in 1943. He obtained a Double First in English Tripos (1947-1950) at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, after serving out the War as second-in-command of a mine-sweeper in the Baltic and the Bay of Bengal. Just for the anecdote, his family traces its descent from the times of the Norman Conquest as " Lords of the Manor " on his father's side. His father was a civil servant who worked to put in place Britain's social security system. Once in 1964, Eric showed me - somewhat diffidently - the family's Coat of Arms, saying : " Do you know what this is ? ", and I never (for a while) stopped kidding him about it all. The real reason why he didn't take up the posts offered to him in the States - such as a professorship at Rutgers - was that he was very proud of being " British " ; yet he owes his post at London University to an American : Professor Robert Earnest SPILLER who authored The Literary History of the United States (1948).

The following translation is the first part of "Time Sight Unseen", published in The Poetry/Rare Books Collection, State University of New York at Buffalo, 1993, n.p.

lΰ dedans
……regardez lΰ dedans……………………………………………….ils ont les leurs
ce que ne pouvait pas κtre vu…………………………..la pensιe dιgoutante
une fois enfin…………………………………………………………et dans l'ιvιnement regardez
…………………………………………………………………………………….son temps
ils confθrent l'objet sur mon
le mien a ιtι exploitι
………………..en rappelant ceux qu'on ne peut pas voir
ceux rattachιs au temps et ΰ la cage thoracique………………….ainsi ses mains soulevιes
leurs vies toujours vibrantes
…………………………………………..saisissaient du temps de l'intιrieur la seule
..chronologie du temps de sang…………………….sujet chronique
………………………………………………………………………………la fondation saisie
le temps de l'intιrieur ιtant ΰ vous et ΰ moi
sans cadran………………………………..qui voyait…………………………………la cage
…………………………………….courbι ιcartι pour atteindre
…………………………………………..le passage sans faire un numιro
les mains lΰ dans le non-vu
……………………………………………comme un entraineur propriιtaire calme vidι
Assommι…………………….pour nous……………………………de notre
pour garder l'unique temps
………………………………………………………………ΰ l'intιrieur
Chassι……………………………………….pour quand les organs ΰ l'extιrieur
……………………………………………………………………………..voient l'extιrieur une fois de plus
le vrai temps dιvidait puis s'enroulait
………………………….pendant un certain temps n'ιtant pas rιel


……………………………..encore l'extιrieur n'est pas visible
de nouveau aprθs l'intrusion dans le seul sacrι
………………………………………les rouges sacs du temps lΰ-bas ramenιs et remis
dans l'esprit
……………………………….rappelιs ΰ l'esprit
……………………………………………………..pour se soucier de votre temps
pourrait κtre filmι et vu de faηon non-rιel le temps rιel
……………………………………………………….les images chaque seconde
……………………………………………………….sous la rιtine tremblotι
……………………………………………………….dιjΰ vu auparavant comme la fin du rιel
un passι dans la bobine…………………………….avec des agents de conservations
dθs ce moment oω ce que s'ιclata
l'amour………………les poθmes d'amour
……………………………………………...les ιclatements de peur
………………………………………………les dιcouverts depuis des sacs du temps
………………………………………………des pulsations et ce que s'ιtait passι se dιroule
le grand secret rιpιtι devant nous
……………………………………………………………la machine dιclencha
……………………………………………………………ces moments ΰ nouveau
les vraies scθnes…………..les moments intimes mutuels…….tout ce que vous
pouvez
