I'm sure some unintended imagery was able to sneak in, but I was very consciously trying to mirror the poems mingling of the flower and sexuality. There might be a baby mixed in too ;).Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-87906526288115711422008-04-08T15:05:00.000-04:002008-04-08T15:05:00.000-04:00Scusa Fran, ma vedo anche un bimbo li li in mezzo?...Scusa Fran, ma vedo anche un bimbo li li in mezzo?fihannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684159686480267801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-7529779292573371912008-04-08T15:04:00.000-04:002008-04-08T15:04:00.000-04:00Well,Those legs apart... oscenooooooooo Nobody ha...Well,<BR/>Those legs apart... <BR/>oscenooooooooo <BR/>Nobody has noticed<BR/>;PPPPPPfihannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684159686480267801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-39955143743024322872008-04-08T13:42:00.000-04:002008-04-08T13:42:00.000-04:00Thanks Kim.

As you know, it's a challenge to capture the balance between the rhythm, image and language. In Italian, and French, things can be said much more elegantly than in English sometimes :).

Truly well done. I would love to have her aboard the MW Society but I'm afraid not too many people read Italian other than you. Great job translating. I know that can be difficult to do in order to maintain the essence of the work. I am French/English and find myself having to translate works as well. So I can relate.<BR/>Maybe we can invite and you translate?
