Yannis Ritsos | The Meaning of Simplicity / Il senso della Semplicità

I hide behind simple things so you’ll find me;

if you don’t find me, you’ll find the things,

you’ll touch what my hand has touched,

Our hand-prints will merge.

Pedro Salinas | Wake up. Day calls you / Svegliati. Il giorno ti chiama..

Wake up. Day calls you

to your life: your duty.

And to live, nothing more.

Root it out of the glum

night and the darkness

that covered your body

for which light waited

on tiptoe in the dawn.

Svegliati. Il giorno ti chiama

alla tua vita: il tuo dovere.

A nient’altro che a vivere.

Strappa ormai alla notte

negatrice e all'ombra

che lo celava, quel corpo

di cui è in attesa, sommessa,

la luce, nell'alba.

Rudolf Jordan (1810-1887) | Genre painter

Ghiannis Ritsos / Jeffrey T. Larson | Debito autunnale

La casa profuma già di autunno.

E una volta ancora siamo impreparati,

senza pullover né sciarpe. Nuvole inattese

dal mattino oscurano le colline. Dobbiamo sbrigarci

a fare un po’ di provviste, perché tra poco arrivano

i venti sbraitanti. I vapori della cucina

occupano il primo posto nel silenzio del corridoio. A uno a uno

chiudono i locali sul mare. Sul molo bagnato

Yoshio Markino | The colour of London

Makino Yoshio / 牧野 義雄, known as Yoshio Markino (1870-1956), was a Japanese Impressionist Watercolor painter and writer born in Koromo (Toyota City).

In 1893, he travelled to San Francisco where he trained at the Hopkins Art School, before arriving in London in 1897, instantly falling in love with the city.

He spent hours walking the streets, fascinated by the effect of mist and fog on the appearance of buildings, especially under gaslight.

Rabindranath Tagore / Marc Chagall | Unending Love / Amore senza fine

Marc Chagall🎨 | La branche de gui or Le rêve, 1928

Sembra che ti abbia amato in innumerevoli modi, innumerevoli volte…

nella vita dopo la vita, ripetutamente, sempre.

Il mio cuore incantato ha creato e ricreato la collana delle canzoni,

che hai accettato in dono e hai messo attorno al tuo collo a modo tuo,

nella vita dopo la vita, ripetutamente, sempre.

Ogni qualvolta odo vecchie cronache d’amore, è un’annosa pena,

l’antica storia di trovarci lontani l’uno dall'altro o insieme.

Fabian Perez, 1967

Egon Schiele | The portrait of the silent pale girl, 1910

An effusion of my love, – Yes.

I loved everything. The girl came, -

I found here face;

Her unconsciousness

Her worker’s hands,

I loved everything about

Her.
