Like this stone of
San Michele
as cold
as hard
as thoroughly dried
as refractory
as deprived of spirit
Like this stone
is my weeping that can't
be seen
Living
discounts death

Comments1I must admit, Ungaretti's work struck me today. His use of the stone at San Michele as a symbol of his emotions is incredibly poignant. His 'weeping that can't be seen', masked by a cold exterior, is something I think we all can relate to on a level. Very thought-provoking 🤔👏.
