Tramonto su Capraia / Sunset over Capraia

«Era già l'ora che volge il disio

ai navicanti e 'ntenerisce il core

lo dí c'han detto ai dolci amici addio;

e che lo novo peregrin d'amore

punge, s'e' ode squilla di lontano

che paia il giorno pianger che si more…»

 

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), “La Divina Commedia”, Purgatorio, Canto ottavo, versi 1-6

 

«Now was the hour that wakens fond desire

In men at sea, and melts their thoughtful heart,

Who in the morn have bid sweet friends farewell,

And pilgrim newly on his road with love

Thrills, if he hear the vesper bell from far,

That seems to mourn for the expiring day…»

 

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), “The Divine Comedy”, Purgatory, Eighth Canto, lines 1-6

translated by Rev. H. F. Cary, M.A. (1772-1844)
