“Stasera” di Giuseppe Ungaretti

Balaustrata di brezza

Per appoggiare stasera

La mia malinconia.

(An illustration inspired by Italian poet Giuseppe Ungaretti’s 1916 poem “Stasera” (“This Evening”). The text, which was composed while Ungaretti was a soldier in WW1, could be translated more or less as follows: “A balustrade of breeze/This evening upon which to lean/My melancholy.”)

    I can see the breeze support him and tousle his hair. His face is only a small part of the scene, and yet the melancholy is everywhere. Wonderful!
