Fragment: My thoughts arise and fade in solitude
Language: English
Available translation(s): ITA
My thoughts arise and fade in solitude,
The verse that would invest them melts away
Like moonlight in the heaven of spreading day:
How beautiful they were, how firm they stood,
Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl!

Frammento: In solitudine nascono e muoiono i miei pensieri
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English
In solitudine nascono e muoiono i miei pensieri,
e il verso che dovrebbe dar loro forma si dissolve
come chiaro di luna vinto dal giorno che avanza:
come erano belli, e come perfetti si mostravano,
screziando il cielo stellato come un tessuto di perle!
