Nel maggio, mentre al più piccolo alito di vento le rose tenerissime concedono le foglie loro, disseminandole appiè d'un amoroso mandorlo ancora in fiore, mentre da per tutto ov'è collina, o giardino, o praticello passeggiano gravemente al sole gli scarabei e sbadigliano, alta la testa viperina, le lucertole verdi, mentre il bosco è tutto in chiacchiere di uccelli gelosi e si spande per la fresca campagna l'indefinibile susurro degli insetti e una scia d'argento solca, sul cammino lentissimo della lumaca, un muretto nell'orto, mentre tutto questo, ch'è poesia dolcissima nell'aria buona o dolce, succede lontano dalla città romorosa, qui la prosa cittadina va trascinando per le vie cenci e magre suppellettili borghesi, sciorinati al sole di maggio tra il polverio, le bestemmie dei facchini o il loro copioso sudore di bestie affaticate.

In May, while at the slightest breath of wind the tender roses grant their leaves, scattering them at the foot of a loving almond tree still in bloom, while everywhere there are hills, or gardens, or meadows where beetles stroll gravely in the sun and yawn, with their viper-like heads held high, the green lizards, while the forest is all in chatter of jealous birds and the indefinable whisper of insects spreads through the fresh countryside and a silver trail cuts across, on the very slow path of the snail, a wall in the garden, while all this, which is the sweetest poetry in the good or sweet air, happens far from the noisy city, here the urban prose drags along rags and meager bourgeois furnishings through the streets, laid out in the May dust, the curses of the porters or their copious sweat of tired beasts.

Railway, the winter feather duster, a memory of the poor dead mother, who used to keep it on her feet—all this passes before the eyes, in the sun, and walks, and changes place and goes elsewhere, and passes from the light of a fifth floor to the darkness of a ground floor, or from the dark to the sun, who knows where, who knows after what bitter regrets, and disappears.
