Grazie ad alcuni preziosi consigli di Adele Kenny,
ho potuto rivedere e perfezionare la traduzione de I Limoni di Eugenio Montale, eliminando in particolare le forme in "ing"
The Lemon Tress translated by Alessandro Pancirolli
Listen, laureate poets
Only move through trees
With not many used names: Boxus, Ligustrum or Acanthus.
I prefer country-roads that open onto the green
Edges where boys are clutching
in some sinking pools
Some very poor eels .
And the lanes following the edges
Sloping through the cane clumps
Leading into the orchards, among the trees of lemon grove.

The Lemon Trees

Edges where boys clutch

Some very poor eels .
And the lanes follow the edges that
Slope through the cane clumps and
Lead into the orchards, among the trees of the lemon grove
