Carl Schlesinger | Genre / Landscape painter
Konstantinos Kavafis | Candele / Candles / Κεριά
Stanno i giorni futuri innanzi a noi
come una fila di candele accese
dorate, calde e vivide.
Restano indietro i giorni del passato,
penosa riga di candele spente:
le più vicine danno fumo ancora,
fredde, disfatte, e storte.
