Iulia Motoc, judecătoarea de la Curtea Constituţională, a postat pe pagina sa de Facebook o poezie care a adus pe reţeaua de socializare tema referendumului.
Fanii şi prietenii ei nu au întârziat să comenteze în contradictoriu şi să facă tot felul de analogii între poezie şi actuala situaţie din România.
“Aşteptându-i pe barbari” este o poezie scrisă de poetul grec Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis.
Iulia Motoc a postat poezia în limba engleză, iar apoi va prezentăm şi traducerea în română.
“What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?
The barbarians are due here today.
Why isn't anything happening in the senate?
Why do the senators sit there without legislating?
Because the barbarians are coming today.
What laws can the senators make now?
Once the barbarians are here, they'll do the legislating.
Why did our emperor get up so early,
and why is he sitting at the city's main gate
on his throne, in state, wearing the crown?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and the emperor is waiting to receive their leader.
He has even prepared a scroll to give him,
replete with titles, with imposing names.
Why have our two consuls and praetors come out today
wearing their embroidered, their scarlet togas?
Why have they put on bracelets with so many amethysts,
and rings sparkling with magnificent emeralds?
Why are they carrying elegant canes
beautifully worked in silver and gold?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and things like that dazzle the barbarians.
Why don't our distinguished orators come forward as usual
to make their speeches, say what they have to say?
Because
