6980 - In the sparkle of Murano
N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni
We were not searching anew
the famous mirrors
but the sparkle of colors
that does not hesitate
to splatter
the banks of the canal
in Murano.
Everything was so clear
so luminous and limpid
that our eyes could
quench themselves on colors
and glut themselves on light
as if this reality
was the only one that could
resist the beauty
of the Serenissima.
