Poem
Giampiero Neri
From along the country’s main road
From along the country’s main roadone could spot the house
in the evening’s incipient darkness.
The huge terrace on the ground floor was empty,
the house seemed uninhabited
deserted by those beloved shadows
that time had cancelled out.

From along the country’s main road
Langs de provinciale wegwas het huis herkenbaar
in het vallend duister van de avond.
Het grote terras op de eerste verdieping was leeg,
het huis leek onbewoond,
verlaten door de dierbare schimmen
die de tijd had uitgewist.

Lungo la strada provinciale
si riconosceva la casa
nell’incipiente oscurità della sera.
Il grande terrazzo al primo piano era vuoto,
la casa sembrava disabitata
deserta di quelle care ombre
che il tempo aveva cancellato.
si riconosceva la casa
nell’incipiente oscurità della sera.
Il grande terrazzo al primo piano era vuoto,
la casa sembrava disabitata
deserta di quelle care ombre
che il tempo aveva cancellato.
