A super short poem inspired by one of the masterpieces in world poetry history.

一首超短的诗，灵感来自世界诗歌史上最伟大的作品之一。In 3 languages: Italiano | English | 中文

My awkward imitation of the poem Mattina(Morning) by Italiano poet Giuseppe Ungaretti😓.

Dusk
Alone it guards,
Zen in hues.

Crepuscolo
Sola si protegge,
Zen nelle tinte.

Mattina(Morning), originally titled Cielo e mare (Sky and Sea), it included three additional lines: «M'illumino / d'immenso / con un breve / moto / di sguardo»(«I am illuminated / by immensity / with a brief / motion / of the gaze»). These texts were sent to Giovanni Papini on January 26, 1917, from Santa Maria la Longa (UD). Later, to express the ineffable emotion felt before the dawn over the sea, Ungaretti kept only the first 2 lines and changed the title. It became:

Mattina
M'illumino
d'immenso

Santa Maria la Longa, gennaio 26, 1917

Morning
Am illuminated,
By immensity.

Santa Maria la Longa, January 26, 1917

English translated by

Sogni

For me, these two perfect parallel texts turned this poem into one of the finest masterpieces in the history of poetry.

我对意大利诗人Giuseppe Ungaretti的诗《晨》的拙劣模仿😓。

暮
独卫，
虹禅。

《晨》最初名为《天空与大海》，还包含另外三行：“耀吾 / 于穹 / 短暂 / 一闪 / 凝眸。”1917年1月26日从圣玛丽亚拉隆加（乌迪内省）诗人将这几句寄给乔瓦尼·帕皮尼。后来，为了表达在海上日出前那难以言喻的情感，诗人精炼删减后三句修改诗名，变成：

晨
耀吾，
于穹。
圣玛丽亚拉隆加，1917年1月26日

中译

Sogni

在我看来，这两句完美的平行文本使得这首诗成为诗歌史上最伟大的杰作之一。
