E erta vana, dilettosa e falsa. quanto se' vaga a l'ignorante ingegno! Guai a chi passa e non riguarda il segno. Passato sono, e sto e vo e corro: stella mi doni lume, a cui ricorro. TranslationI, a poor pilgrim, having climbed the mountain.feel tired, and make my way down to the valley where every path is dark and short. O delectable, vain and worthless climb. how easily you lure the ignorant mind! It's dangerous to pass and miss the sign. I have come that way; and stay, and go, and run; may the star give me light to which I turn. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
