Luigi Bartolini | Colors /Colori

Black, you are Black Hell, its dark portals,
the arch of Styx, the shadow of evening, the breath of night,
the dismal quilt that lastly shrouds our bodies;
black, color and bestower of Death.

Red, you of all colors are the youngest,
before you all sadness fades away and is put to flight;
color of fragrant blooms, of burning lips,
you are the soul of the senses, oh earthly color!
