El Ghorba
Daniele Sepe| Traduzione inglese della poesia / English translation of the... | |
| Vivere è scegliere e quant'è incantevolmente grande non scegliere tra il muro di cemento e le unghie spezzate in due Un cammino che porta a casa è un cammino pesante da percorrere dove ogni viandante [...] che è, che è un pover'uomo. | THE WAY HOME I know a way that leads home. It is hard to go that way. Every traveller there grows poor and small and ugly and grey. I know a way that leads home. That way is bare, pure-blown. It is like leaning one's warm cheek against unmerciful stone. But he who has felt that stone on his cheek's frozen blood, will perceive how gentle its hardness is, how faithful and firm and good. And he will thank the stone and the hardness love will he, and praise the only battle that was worth his victory. |
