amfora (plural amforák)

  1. amphora
    • 1909–1911, Mihály Babits, A Danaidák (The Danaïds), translated by Péter Zollman:
      óriási amphorákba, alabastrom amphorákba ötven asszony, bűnös asszony karcsu vázát megmerítve, majd merítve, majd ürítve kárhozott bús ötven asszony mindörökre töltöget, // ötven kárhozott bús asszony óriási alabastrom amphorákba mindhiába töltögeti drága nedvét, drága Léthéből merített sohasem elég vizet.
      into urns of alabaster, giant urns of alabaster fifty guilty sisters filling, draining, straining, never spilling, fifty doomed and wretched widows lifting fifty slender vases pouring water down below, // fifty doomed, tormented sisters into urns of alabaster vainly drain their priceless liquid, water from the precious Lethe, never-ample costly flow.
