Giampiero Neri
Of those uncertain shadows
Of those uncertain shadowsof names to which they were matched
time has cancelled the memory.
Like stones flung over waters
that sink after their brief run,
those shapes receded into the distance
and vanished into the transparent air.

Of those uncertain shadows
De namen die behoorden bijdie vage schimmen waren
door de tijd uit het geheugen gewist.
Als steentjes die over het water zeilen
en na een korte afstand zinken
verwijderden zich de gestalten en
verdwenen in de transparante lucht.

Di quelle vaghe ombre
dei nomi cui corrispondevano
il tempo cancellava la memoria.
Come sassi lanciati sull’acqua
che affondano dopo breve corsa
le figure si allontanavano
svanivano nell’aria trasparente.
dei nomi cui corrispondevano
il tempo cancellava la memoria.
Come sassi lanciati sull’acqua
che affondano dopo breve corsa
le figure si allontanavano
svanivano nell’aria trasparente.
