Island-Hearth
by M. Ivana Trevisani Bach
Island-Earth
Island-Earth:
tiny point
lost in the Universe.
Marble of light:
sapphire of seas,
emerald of woods.
Pearl of life
in the abysses of the Nothing.
Precious jewel
in vulgar,
dirty and perverse hands.
Ball of dirt,
you’ll remain
alone and different,
a useless reject
of the Universe.
Isola-Terra:
Isola-Terra:
minuscolo punto
sperduto nel cosmo
Biglia di luce;
zaffiro di mari,
smeraldo di boschi.
Perla di vita
Negli abissi del nulla.
Gioiello prezioso
in mani volgari
immonde e perverse.
Sarai
palla di sporco,
sola e diversa.
Inutile scarto,
dell’universo.

- Robert Burns: Elegy On “Stella”: The following poem is the work of some hapless son of the Muses who deserved a better fate. There is a great deal of “The voice of Cona” in his solitary, mournful notes; and had the sentiments been clothed in Shenstone’s language, they would have been no discredit even to that elegant poet.-R.B.
