Ernst Klimt, Francesca Da Rimini And Paolo Malatesta, c.1890
Love came to us in time gone by When one at twilight shyly played And one in fear was standing nigh – For Love at first is all afraid. We were grave lovers. Love is past That had his sweet hours many a one; Welcome to us now at the last The ways that we shall go upon.
A noi venne Amore nei tempi andati, che l’una al crepuscolo schiva sonava e l’altro accanto stava pauroso… chè Amore in principio è tutto tremore. Fu grave amarsi, Finito è l’amore, le sue dolci ore non rare. Salutiamo finalmente le strade per cui dovremo andare.
