...gold
Imprisoned thy soul in its jeweled hold.
Oh, fair was the picture at early dawn,
With the matchless beauty that Guido had drawn;
And fair was the face in the noon of gold,
Touched with a glory that never grew old.
But lovelier still in the shadowed eyes
Lay the burning sunset of Italy's skies;
And the beautiful face with its voiceless woe
Grew fair as a saint's in the crimson glow.
No wonder the poets grew wild at the sight,
And sung of thy beauty with mad del...Read more of this...

...it hollow
A hunger for the apple on the bough
Most out of reach? and is that spectral image
The man that Lapo and that Guido knew?
I think he fashioned from his opposite
An image that might have been a stony face
Staring upon a Bedouin's horse-hair roof
From doored and windowed cliff, or half upturned
Among the coarse grass and the camel-dung.
He set his chisel to the hardest stone.
Being mocked by Guido for his lecherous life,
Derided and deriding, driven out
To climb that ...Read more of this...

...io ov'?? e perch? non ? teco?».
E io a lui: «Da me stesso non vegno:
colui ch'attende l?, per qui mi mena
forse cui Guido vostro ebbe a disdegno».
Le sue parole e 'l modo de la pena
m'avean di costui gi? letto il nome;
per? fu la risposta cos? piena.
Di subito drizzato grid?: «Come?
dicesti "elli ebbe"? non viv'elli ancora?
non fiere li occhi suoi lo dolce lume?».
Quando s'accorse d'alcuna dimora
ch'io facea dinanzi a la risposta,
supin ricadde e pi? non parve...Read more of this...

...na was free !'
And some one came out of the cheers in the street,
With a face pale as stone, to say something to me.
My Guido was dead ! I fell down at his feet,
While they cheered in the street.
IX.
I bore it ; friends soothed me ; my grief looked sublime
As the ransom of Italy. One boy remained
To be leant on and walked with, recalling the time
When the first grew immortal, while both of us strained
To the height he had gained.

And letters still came, shorter, sadder, ...Read more of this...

...ne la pittura
tener lo campo, e ora ha Giotto il grido,
sì che la fama di colui è scura:
così ha tolto l'uno a l'altro Guido
la gloria de la lingua; e forse è nato
chi l'uno e l'altro caccerà del nido.
Non è il mondan romore altro ch'un fiato
di vento, ch'or vien quinci e or vien quindi,
e muta nome perché muta lato.
Che voce avrai tu più, se vecchia scindi
da te la carne, che se fossi morto
anzi che tu lasciassi il 'pappo' e 'l 'dindi',
pria che passin mill'anni? ch'è pi...Read more of this...
