handiwork of God, but also of men;
these are ever endowing you with
beauty from their hearts.

Charles Baudelaire / Roberto Ferri | Tristezze della luna
Roberto Ferri | Tristezze della luna
This evening the Moon dreams more languidly,
Like a beauty who on many cushions rests,
And with her light hand fondles lingeringly,
Before she sleeps, the slope of her sweet breasts.
Stasera la luna sogna più languidamente;
come una bella donna su tanti cuscini
che con mano distratta e leggera carezzi
prima di addormentarsi il contorno dei suoi seni,
