Infinite
and silent and hidden from the infinite becomes luminous and living by shining the heart of a new breath.
The Infinite
These solitary hills have always been
dear to me.
Seated here, this sweet hedge, which blocks
the distant horizon
opening inner silences and interminable distances.
I plunge in thought to where my
heart, frightened, pulls back.
Like the wind which I hear tossing the
trembling plants which surround me,
a voice from the inner depths of
spirit shakes the certitudes of thought.
Eternity breaks through time, past
and present intermingle in her image.
In the inner shadows I lose
myself, drowning in the
sea-depths of timeless love.
G. Leopardi
