LIFE OF A MAN

LIFE OF A MAN

Just like naked words, purity, essence, reality. Giuseppe Ungaretti‘s poetry brings us to the under skin, the earth, without any additions. “Life of a Man” is an essential book, extraordinary, beautiful and painful as life itself.

Here it is a poem by Ungaretti [Free and unofficial translation]:

Wanderer

In any

Part
of this Earth

I can not

Ingrain

Each

New

Climate

I find

I discover

Faltering

That

Once

I already

accustomed

 

And I am always separated

Foreign

 

Born

Tornado of times too

Lived up

 

Enjoy only one

Minute of life

Initial

Seeking an

Innocent country.

 

Kisses, hugs,

Álex
