UN PICCOLO EXERCISE IN ENGLISH E IN ITALIANO
Stamattina
when walking
when walking in the garden
quando ho girato li'
I heard a dull bombastic bump!..
I was looking there and saw la pigna
I stood there and thought:
I opine that questo cono di pino
this piece this part this fruit this child questo figlio of a pine-tree
is really the opinionative opinion of this pino
about its native life and its native death
and its native continuazione
in its pinoli
E poi I thought anche:
We opine we are the bosses of the Earth
but the truth is the greatest boss of the Earth is il pino
and we are the swellings of the Earth only
and we are living because a pine-tree lives
Ma il pino non ha bisogno di noi
Thus I stood in the garden and thought so
But I forgot these opinions
five minutes later
when I left this garden
Quando sono andato via da questo giardino
As the present Adam
Come l'Adamo di oggi
In the same way as I forget all my opinions
in the same way as I forget all
in the same way
in the same way
in the same
Il Paradiso lasciato
il Paradiso perduto
il giardino dei pini
I can't believe
that I'll have forgotten
