preziosi doni di fatica e amore.
The Princes of Capraia
Air,water,earth and firethey are the princeswailing and twilight of the world.
Air belongs to breeze, libecchio and sirocco,
not breeze, delicate caress.Storm-like windpushing clouds, herding them.Water, whisper of stream denied here
by silvery glare, by spurtimpetuous seawaterhorrifying the sight.Fire has the blush of sun
the impetus of manfire, ah...passion of the world,chilling beauty of Vulcan.Earth has a tired mother's face
womb of human peoplebreeding juicy fruits beaded with sweat,not rippling harvest...precious gifts of strain and love.Poesia di Fabio Vigano'Traduzione di Andrea Carlo Cappi
