Quote by Giuseppe Ungaretti about poetry, celebrity, solitude, despair, poverty, night, light, nothing, time

Star

Star, my only star,
in the poverty of the night, alone,
for me, alone, you shine,
in loneliness you shine;

But, for me, star
that never will stop from lighting,
a too short time is granted you,
you lavish me a light
that in me does nothing but
sharpen my despair.

Giuseppe Ungaretti
