Sappho (Saffo)- Quale dolce mela / Like a sweet-apple

06/11/2019 19/05/2020 / By booksofart / Sappho / flower, nature
Gustav Klimt, Apple tree, 1912

Like a sweet-apple
turning red
high
on the tip
of the topmost branch.
Forgotten by pickers.
Not forgotten—
they couldn’t reach it.

Quale dolce mela che su alto
ramo rosseggia, alta sul più
alto; la dimenticarono i coglitori;
no, non fu dimenticata: invano
tentarono di raggiungerla…
