from Sentimento del Tempo, 1919-1925
Gioventu impietrita,
O statua, o staua dell’abisso umano . . .
Il gran tumulto dopo tanto viaggio
Corrode uno scoglio
A fiore di labbra.
Statue 1927
from Sentiment of Time, 1919-1925
Petrified youth,
O statue, o statue of the human abyss . . .
After the long journey the great tumult
Corrodes the stone
That flowers from its lips.
