Ciao a tutti!\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

Ecco l’autunno!\u00a0<\/em>Here is autumn! To celebrate, I’d like to share some autumnal poems. Some poetry and a good book<\/a> are my equivalent to a cozy fall…<\/p>\n

But first I’d like to mention that yesterday (Sept 30) was International Translation Day<\/a>, celebrating the important role of language professionals. ?<\/p>\n

Language learning facilitates dialogue and understanding between nations and its people, allows for connections and compassion, and allows you to see the world and the experience of others in a different way. In short, learning a second (or third!) language is imperative. (Not to mention all the cognitive benefits for learners…)<\/p>\n

In honor of this and in underscoring the importance of language learning, try to translate these two quotes in the comments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.”
\n– Flora Lewis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“To have another language is to possess a second soul.”
\nCharlemagne<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Siete d’accordo? <\/em>Do you agree? How important is learning a language to you?<\/p>\n

Autunno<\/em><\/h2>\n

Roberto Piumini<\/p>\n

Quando la terra<\/em>
\ncomincia a dormire<\/em>
\nsotto una coperta<\/em>
\ndi foglie leggere,<\/em>
\nquando gli uccelli<\/em>
\nnon cantano niente.<\/em>
\nQuando di ombrelli<\/em>
\nfiorisce la gente,<\/em>
\nquando si sente<\/em>
\ntossire qualcuno,<\/em>
\nquando un bambino<\/em>
\ndiventa un alunno.<\/em>
\nEcco l\u2019autunno!<\/em><\/p>\n

Autumn<\/h3>\n

Roberto Piumini<\/p>\n

When the earth
\nbegins to sleep
\nunder a blanket
\nof light leaves,
\nwhen the birds
\nthey don’t sing anything.
\nWhen of umbrellas
\npeople flourish,
\nwhen you hear
\ncough someone,
\nwhen a child
\nbecomes a pupil.
\nHere is autumn!<\/p>\n

Autunno\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

Vincenzo Cardarelli (1949)<\/p>\n

Autunno. Gi\u00e0 lo sentimmo venire<\/em>
\nnel vento d’agosto,<\/em>
\nnelle pioggie di settembre<\/em>
\ntorrenziali e piangenti<\/em>
\ne un brivido percorse la terra<\/em>
\nche ora, nuda e triste,<\/em>
\naccoglie un sole smarrito.<\/em>
\nOra passa e declina,<\/em>
\nin quest’autunno che incede<\/em>
\ncon lentezza indicibile,<\/em>
\nil miglior tempo della nostra vita<\/em>
\ne lungamente ci dice addio.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Autumn<\/h2>\n

Vincenzo Cardarelli (1949)<\/p>\n

Autumn. We felt its croming
\nin the wind of August,
\nin the rains of September
\ntorrential and weeping
\nand a shiver ran through the earth
\nwhich now, bare and sad,
\nwelcomes a bewildered sun.
\nNow passes and\u00a0declines,
\nin this Autumn progressing
\nwith unspeakable slowness,
\nthe best time of our life
\nand lengthily bids us farewell.<\/p>\n
