Night and Day
An Imitation of the Modern Arab
Said the Night to the Day.– My prayers travel around, more than your famous ones. –The Day responded Oh how many times and how many people Direct their sorrows to me And then they leave!– –The Night continues on From me with tears, oh Day You leave and come back. People who are in love Between a wounded heart From my being late, suffer With humble words Humble in my Love Wherever I am One finds every joy And games and drinking prove to be harmful for Love, many During my hours ... Chieggon with a longing chest To the sky during the night And they detested the return Of the indiscreet day; That in the hours of the nighttime Love permits all. Now that you have heard my prayers, You will still be courageous To compare yourself to me And first even praise yourself Oh unfortunate day Disdained by all?– –Then the Day returns: – Even though I am humiliated, I will sincerely admit, Night, you have spoken the truth.
The Eagle and the Parrot
The chatty parrot One day with a particularly impertinent attitude Turned to the Eagle – "Really"– He said "...." Which?" the Eagle responded. – To the other birds the song ....the Man of creation: And to me, the greatest gift, Of human accent, and/is the fairytale." Foolish!" the haughty eagle responded– If all day you are still Chattering, about this same nonsense It is by your style of speech That it is understood that you do not know What listening and repeating ... I, in the lucid radiant disc Of the sun, right in the pupils how many Beasts like you give bother me I rip them apart with my beak or with my shredded claws."
Morality
In the end, the parrot is like a gossipy person, a slanderer, a blabbermouth Who the world wants to keep at school(?) With his empty and changing words, A man who is intellectual and has a kind heart Avoids this person and keeps him a coward (?) But there is trouble if he marks a remark to him. To strike his excited brilliance. M. Consigli
