Antique fragments that recall A once well constructed life
E quella a me: Nessun maggior dolore
che ricordarsi del tempo felice
ne la miseria; -Inferno Canto V, 121-123

Gone silent, gentle
In that cold night1
Antique fragments that recall
A once well constructed life
Scattered - and in ruin, lost.2

I see Nobody on the road.
I only wish I had such eyes.3
Quali colombe dal disio...4
Fallen from the sky.
