Giuseppe Ungaretti


Giuseppe Ungaretti, the Master of Hermeticism, Translated In English ebook by Alessandro Baruffi


NIGHT IN MAY

 

The sky puts

garlands of little lights

atop the minarets

 


PILGRIMMAGE

 

Hunkering

in these bowels

of rubble

hour on hour

I have dragged

my carcass

worn by mud

like a boot sole

or like a seed

of hawthorn

 

Ungaretti

man of pain

all you need for courage

is one mirage

 

Over there

a searchlight

sets a sea

into the fog

 

Lone Tree Gully, August 16, 1916
