E cielo e terra si mostrò qual era: la terra ansante, livida, in sussulto; il cielo ingombro, tragico, disfatto: bianca bianca nel tacito tumulto una casa apparì sparì d’un tratto; come un occhio, che, largo, esterrefatto, s’aprì si chiuse, nella notte nera. And sky and earth showed what they were like: the earth panting, livid, in a jolt; the sky burdened, tragic, exhausted: white-white in the silent tumult a house appeared, disappeared in the blink of an eye; like an eyeball, that enlarged, horrified, opened and closed itself, in the pitch-black night. by Giovanni Pascoli translation by Alessandro Baruffi
