"Campo dei Fiori" (1943), trans. Louis Iribarne and David Brooks
“
Those dying here, the lonely
Forgotten by the world,
Our tongue becomes for them
The language of an ancient planet.
Until, when all is legend
And many years have passed,
On a great Campo di Fiori
Rage will kindle at a poet's word.
— Czesław Miłosz
