somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond...

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands”

As a wave lark
Happy in the wind on young lawns,
Arms know you light, come in.
We’ll forget down here
of evil and heaven,
and of my blood quickly to the war,
of mindful shadow steps
by new morning blush.
Where no leaf stirs more no more light,
Dreams and sorrows passed to other sides
Where is resting the evening
Come with me I'll bring you
to gold hill.
The constant time, free of age
In his lost halo
It will be our sheet.
Giuseppe Ungaretti
1930
