Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine… | |
Tormented by visions of flight and falling, | |
More wondrous and terrible each than the last, | |
Master Leonardo imagines an engine | |
To carry a man up into the sun… | |
And as he’s dreaming the heavens call him, | |
“Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni á volare”. (“Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly”.) | |
L’uomo colle sua congiegniate e grandi ale, | |
facciendo forza contro alla resistente aria. | |
(A man with wings large enough and duly connected | |
might learn to overcome the resistance of the air.) | |
II. | |
Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine… | |
As the candles burn low he paces and writes, | |
Releasing purchased pigeons one by one | |
Into the golden Tuscan sunrise… | |
And as he dreams, again the calling, | |
The very air itself gives voice: | |
“Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni á volare”. (“Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly”.) | |
Vicina all’elemento del fuoco… | |
(Close to the sphere of elemental fire…) | |
Scratching quill on crumpled paper, | |
Rete, canna, filo, carta. | |
(Net, cane, thread, paper.) | |
Images of wing and frame and fabric fastened tightly. | |
…sulla suprema sottile aria. | |
(…in the highest and rarest atmosphere.) | |
III. | |
Master Leonardo Da Vinci Dreams of his Flying Machine… | |
As the midnight watchtower tolls, | |
Over rooftop, street and dome, | |
The triumph of a human being ascending | |
In the dreaming of a mortal man. | |
Leonardo steels himself, | |
takes one last breath, | |
and leaps… |
Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine | |
Tormented by visions of flight and falling, | |
More wondrous and terrible each than the last, | |
Master Leonardo imagines an engine | |
To carry a man up into the sun | |
And as he' s dreaming the heavens call him, | |
" Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni a volare". " Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly". | |
L' uomo colle sua congiegniate e grandi ale, | |
facciendo forza contro alla resistente aria. | |
