You cast us like sunlight upon the earth.
And our light, passing through the body
as if
it were an open window to our Source,
returns, purified, to You.
DANTE - verso il cielo
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca, desiderosi d' ascoltar,
sguiti dietro al mio legno che cantando varca,
Non vi mettete in pelago, che forse, perdento me, rimarreste smarriti.
L' acque ch'io prendo gia mai non si corse;
Minerva spira e conducemi Apollo,
e nove Muse mi dimostran l' Orse.
It's late and it's
raining , my friends,
let's go home.Let's leave these ruins
we've haunted
like owls.
