I loved trite words that no one dared

to use. I was bewitched by the rhyme fiore/

amore,

the most ancient and difficult on earth.

I loved the truth lying in the depths,

like a forgotten dream, that pain discovers

as a friend again. In fear the heart

approaches it, and never will forsake it.

I love you who listen to me and my good card

left at the ending of my game.
