Silenzio! Quale luce irrompe da quella finestra lassù?
È l'oriente, e Giulietta è il sole.
Sorgi, vivido sole, e uccidi l'invidiosa luna,
malata già e pallida di pena
perché tu, sua ancella, di tanto la superi in bellezza.
Non essere la sua ancella, poiché la luna è invidiosa.
Il suo manto di vestale è già di un verde smorto,
e soltanto i pazzi lo indossano. Gettalo via.
È la mia donna; oh, è il mio amore!
se soltanto sapesse di esserlo.

Auguste Rodin - Romeo and Juliet, 1905
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!

Parla, pure non dice nulla. Come accade?
Parlano i suoi occhi; le risponderò.
No, sono troppo audace; non parla a me;
ma due stelle tra le più lucenti del cielo,
dovendo assentarsi, implorano i suoi occhi
di scintillare nelle loro sfere fino a che non ritornino.
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
Auguste Rodin - Eternal idol, 1889
E se davvero i suoi occhi fossero in cielo, e le stelle nel suo viso?
Lo splendore del suo volto svilirebbe allora le stelle
come fa di una torcia la luce del giorno; i suoi occhi in cielo
fluirebbero per l'aereo spazio così luminosi
che gli uccelli canterebbero, credendo finita la notte.
Guarda come posa la guancia sulla mano!
Oh, fossi un guanto su quella mano
e potessi sfiorarle la guancia!
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
