Elizabeth Bishop Frasi e Citazioni

Questa traduzione è in attesa di revisione. È corretto?

“L'arte di perdere non è difficile da padroneggiare;
così tante cose sembravano piene dell'intento
perdersi che la loro perdita non è un disastro”

Elizabeth Bishop

“Ma il punto era che alla fine andava bruciato tutto. Andava bruciato tutto, tutto, anche i brandelli sconcertanti che Boomer aveva portato con sé per settimane o mesi.

“Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,

Close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.

Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.”

held us all together
or made us all just one?”
