.. non so come ringraziarvi per aver aperto questo thread!!
Lo faccio postando la clip di una poesia che mi piace molto letta da Bono degli U2:
Roll the dice , di Charles Bukowski
Per una maggiore comprensione riporto il testo in inglese e (parte) in italiano:
Roll the dice
If you’re going to try, go all the way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
If you’re going to try, go all the way.
This could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
Go all the way.
It could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
It could mean freezing on a park bench.
It could mean jail,
it could mean derision, mockery, isolation.
Isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your endurance,
of how much you really want to do it.
And you’ll do it;
despite rejection and the worst odds,
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
If you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to perfect laughter,
it’s the only good fight there is.
Fallo
Se hai intenzione di tentare,
fallo fino in fondo.
Non esiste sensazione altrettanto bella.
Sarai solo con gli dei
e le notti arderanno tra le fiamme.
Fallo, fallo, fallo
fallo.
Fino in fondo.
Fino in fondo.
Cavalcherai la vita fino alla risata perfetta,
è l'unica battaglia giusta che esista.
