Giampiero Neri

About these woods. . .

About these woods, in partibus infidelium,
the buzzard is fairly common hereabouts,

where there are outcrops of rock
and where stumps of stones

rising from the ground here and there
offer refuge and protection.

About these woods. . .

In deze bossen in de landen van de ongelovigen
komt de buizerd vrij algemeen voor
waar hem een vooruitgestoken rots
of een stapel stenen
die hier en daar uit de bodem rijst,
toevlucht en bescherming biedt.

Di questi boschi in partibus infidelium
è abbastanza commune la poiana,
dove qualche spuntone di roccia
e mozziconi di sassi
che si alzano da terra qua e là
offrono asilo e protezione.
