Born just in time to read Mongolian baskets in English.

lads, where does a foreigner starts with leopardi (in italian)?
plz dont bully apu he make mistake
Sempre caro mi fu quest’ermo colle,
e questa siepe, che da tanta parte
dell’ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude.
Ma sedendo e mirando, interminati
spazi di là da quella, e sovrumani
silenzi, e profondissima quïete
io nel pensier mi fingo; ove per poco
il cor non si spaura. E come il vento
odo stormir tra queste piante, io quello
infinito silenzio a questa voce
vo comparando: e mi sovvien l’eterno,
e le morte stagioni, e la presente
e viva, e il suon di lei. Così tra questa
immensità s’annega il pensier mio:
e il naufragar m’è dolce in questo mare.
>ywn read me in any language
bumpp
The only one that matters there is Virgil in latin. Others are memes
I grew up bilingual speaking arabic at home and english whenever I was at school or out.
Before I read Mahfouz in arabic my horizons only extended to those of the western canon, but this has changed since.
One thing I can say with absolute certainty is that Mahfouz's prose is much more beautiful than those of English-speaking authors of his time. He's a wonderful writer and a master of the pen.
