il nostro paesaggio interiore.... (our inscape)


ELETTO Silenzio, canta per me...non formate, labbra, alcun suono.... siate, occhi, velati di doppia tenebra, trovate la luce increata: la ressa, la ridda di cose che scorgete, avvolge, arresta, eludendo la semplice vista....
(da: The Habit of Perfection)
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

ELECTED Silence, sing to me...Shape nothing, lips; be lovely-dumb....Be shellèd, eyes, with double dark
And find the uncreated light: This ruck and reel which you remark coils, keeps, and teases simple sight.
(from: The Habit of Perfection)
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
