Poetry: “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by TS Eliot
.....S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse .....A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, .....Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. .....Ma percioche giammai di questo fondo .....Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero, .....Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.

to one perhaps returning to the world,
this tongue of flame would cease to flicker.
But since, up from these depths, no one has yet
returned alive, if what I hear is true,
I answer without fear of being shamed.”
