Anche tu sei l'amore.

Sei di sangue e di terra

come gli altri.

Cammini

come chi non si stacca

dalla porta di casa.

Guardi come chi attende

e non vede.

Sei terra

che dolora e che tace.

Hai sussulti e stanchezze,

hai parole - cammini

in attesa. L'amore

è il tuo sangue - non altro

(Cesare Pavese)

You, too, are love. You're made of blood and earth like the others. But you walk like someone who never leaves the door of her house. You gaze like someone who waits too intently to see. You are the earth that grieves and is silent. 

Yet something heaves in you, something gets tired, something makes words. You walk even though you're standing still. What you must learn is that love is your own blood. It can be nothing else. 

(Cesare Pavese)
