Giuseppe Ungaretti: What use are images?
Waves on sandy beach, Cabo Polonio, Uruguay: photo by Johntex, 2006
Non più m'attragono i paesaggi erranti
Del mare, né dell alba il lacerante
Pallore sopra queste o quelle foglie
Nemmeno più prò contrasto col macigno,
Antica notte che sugli occhi porto.
Le immagini a che prò
Per me dimenticata?
Del mare, né dell alba il lacerante
Pallore sopra queste o quelle foglie
Nemmeno più prò contrasto col macigno,
Antica notte che sugli occhi porto.
Le immagini a che prò
Per me dimenticata?
Leaves of European Birch (Fagus): photo by The cat, 2006
No longer captured by the sea's restless
Landscapes, by the piercing candour
Of day breaking over these
Or those leaves, not even by the contrasts
Ancient nights dividing light from shade
Draw against the stone.
Lost, what use
Lost, what use
Are images to me now?
Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970): Poem IX (Non più m'attragano i paesaggi erranti)from Cori descrittivi di stati d'animo di Didone (Choruses Descriptive of the State of Mind of Dido), in La terra promessa (The Promised Land), 1950; English by TC
