MANCHESTER: Aquiles, poema de la poeta inglesa laureada, Carol Ann Duffy





ACHILLES
BY CAROL ANN DUFFY
Myth's river - where his mother dipped him, fished him, a slippery golden boy flowed on, his name on its lips.

Without him, it was prophesied, they would not take Troy.

Women hid him, concealed him in girls' sarongs; days of sweetmeats, spices, silver songs...

But when Odysseus came, with an athlete's build, a sword and a shield, he followed him to the battlefield, the crowd's roar,

And it was sport, not war, his charmed foot on the ball...

But then his heel, his heel, his heel... 


La inmortalización del talón de Aquiles de David Beckam, futbolista lesionado ayer mienstras jugaba, por la distinguida profesora Dyffy.

 El momento de la lesión que hizo llorar a DB en la cancha.
