Closed between mortal things
(Even the starry sky will end)
Why do I crave God?

— Giuseppe Ungaretti

Chiuso fra cose mortali
(Anche il cielo stellato finirà)
Perché bramo Dio?

More quotes by Giuseppe Ungaretti

True love is like a lighted window in a dark night.
True love is a burning stillness.

Of these houses
nothing is left
but a few scraps
of walls
Of so many
whose life I shared
not even that much
is left
But my heart carries
all their crosses
My heart's indeed
the most ravaged land.
