Giuseppe Ungaretti: Pellegrinaggio

Valloncello dell'Albero Isolato il 16 agosto 1916

In agguato
in queste budella
di macerie
ore e ore
ho strascicato
la mia carcassa
usata dal fango
come una suola
o come un seme
di spinalba

Ungaretti
uomo di pena
ti basta un'illusione
per farti coraggio

Un riflettore
di là
mette un mare
nella nebbia

Pilgrimage 

Valley of the Isolated Tree 16 August 1916

Crouched in ambush 
in these twisted
internal passages

among broken things
hour on hour 
I've dragged
a husk 
through the mud  

an old shoe sole or
a seed of spiny whitethorn

Ungaretti man
of pain
an illusion
is enough to give you heart

Out there
in the fog
a searchlight
creates a sea

Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970): Pellegrinaggio (Pilgrimage) from Allegria di naufragi, 1919; English TC

Top staff members of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton discussed in May 2015 how the candidate could possibly avoid press questioning “at message events” throughout the summer of that year, according to staff emails published by WikiLeaks. On Monday, WikiLeaks released a seventeenth collection of emails from the hacked account of John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chair. One email chain, from May 21, 2015, discussed how Clinton could avoid spontaneous press exchanges at campaign events.: photo by Bryan Snyder via Reuters, 24 October 2016
