To Himself – Giacomo Leopardi

Posted by | July 21, 2008 .

Now will you rest forever ,
My tired heart . Dead is the last
deception ,
That I thought eternal . Dead . Well I
feel
In us the sweet illusions ,
Nothing but ash , desire burned out.
Rest forever . You have
Trembled enough . Nothing is worth
Thy beats , nor does the earth
deserve
Thy sighs . Bitter and dull
Is life , there is nought else. The
world is clay .
Rest now . Despair
For the last time . To our kind , Fate
Gives but death . Now despise
Yourself , nature , the sinister
Power that secretly commands our
common ruin ,
And the infinite vanity of
everything .
