DICERIE DI IERI
(A Ralf Nyman)
Through your long way look at
The path left behind you
Filled with days that gave you their last touch
Passing by
The path being ahead of you
Filled with days which in any case and at any cost
Are going to come by
Giving you in their turn their own touch
Before they die
All of them one by one
Unique in their Beauty
For Beauty has always being breathtakingly perfect
And terribly distant
Thank Beauty’s God for that
Do not dare come closer to it
Let Beauty feel you with all its senses, for they are many
From its own distance
Do not get close to it
Not unless you are certainly sure of knowing
The highest art of all
The ultimate one
The art of compromising!
Oh, if you are among the chosen ones
Who possess this highest and holiest art
Do not miss the chance
Get as close as possible to it, fear not
And be very well prepared though
For Beauty has no shape:
You will be able to taste Beauty
In all its perfect harmonic details
Even the beautiful ones!
