Cesare Pavese – She wasn’t foolish / E non era una stupida

Pietro Antonio Rotari (1707-1762), A girl wearing pearl drop earrings and a black lace choker

She wasn’t foolish. She knew what she wanted. But she wanted the impossible.

E non era una stupida, sapeva quel che voleva. Solamente voleva delle cose impossibili.
