Bertolt Brecht – Observation/ Constatazione

Thomas Cole, A view of the two lakes and mountain house, Catskill Mountains, 1844

When I returned
my hair was not yet grey
and I was glad.
The travails of the mountains lie behind us.
Before us lie the travails of the plains.

Quando ritornai
i miei capelli ancora non erano grigi
ed ero contento.
Le fatiche delle montagne sono alle nostre spalle,
davanti a noi le fatiche delle pianure.
