San Martino

Image inspired by the Italian poem San Martino by G. Carducci. Saint Martin's Day, by Giosue Carducci, from "Rime Nuove", 1887 The fog to the bare hills soars in the thin rain, and below the wind howls and churns the sea; yet through the hamlet's alleys from the fermenting casks goes the pungent scent of wines to touch a soul with glee. On the firewood, turns the skewer crackling: stands the hunter whistling, on the threshold to see in the reddening clouds flocks of black birds, like exiled thoughts as in the dusk they flee
