I ragazzi che amavano il vento. Testo inglese a fronte

my fav trio ! i love shelley, keats and byron a lot, both as people and as artists (i find them all really fascinating). the rhymes in this collection are elegant and lovely to read, the poems themselves superb (and id like to clarify that the 4 stars go to them, not to the - poorly done, in my opinion - translation). nonetheless, one thing i appreciated about this edition was the way it highlighted the connection to italy that these three amazing poets had in common. i'm currently learning to appreciate my country more, with its culture and its language, so reading pieces that celebrate it is really nice :)
 
  "I love the language, that soft bastard Latin,
Which melts like kisses from a female mouth,
And sounds as if it should be writ on satin,
With syllables which breathe of the sweet South"
