«Here time still falls / off the towers.
Here, / on the clean stone / of the night. still / youth has soul / and thrust – is heard / in living voice.
Dark / or blue it is, / the darkness (of life) / here is still a flag-raising / of the heart – is vigor / and chant.
Here, / where quarter by quarter / time still falls from the towers / beyond darkness and delusion.»
Monselice, by Giorgio Caproni
Qua il tempo cade ancora / dalle torri.
Qua, / sulla pietra pulita / della notte. ancora / la gioventù ha anima / e spinta – è esaudita / in voce viva.
Nera / o celeste che sia, / l’oscurità (la vita) / qua è ancora un alzabandiera / del cuore – è vigoria / e canto.
Qua, / dove quarto per quarto / l’ora cade dalle torri ancora / oltre il buio e il disincanto.
