L’alba rese via le cupe nuvole,
Ora la notte è già così lontana
Quando il vento respira un sospiro
Per la gloria distante della rovina
Che fosse Persepolis in Persia imperiale.
Qui, vedo la rena di tempo
Che strugge Vostre colonne, intorno a noi
Mentre mi siedo nell’ombra del sole eternale
Ed ora siamo solo ma insieme, io e Voi
Oh Persepolis, voi che incoronate pianna e campo!
I principe ed ambasciatori sui muraglioni
Risveglianno dove hanno loro marcia eternale
In pietra, da rendere omaggio ad un re che non c’è:
Stanno bagnato fra i muri nel luce del sole
Sulla questa terra persiana piena di rovine e sogni.
Dov'è l’aroma di profumi
Delle cittadine e nobili?
Dov'è il rumore di Vostri cavallieri
I guardiani di Vostre strade, con loro cavalli?
Nessuno ha tornato mai a Vostri colmi,
Dov'è il rumore di prosperità
Che ebbe vi vissuto con oro e giojelli:
Un riscatto degno di Re dei Re?
Non posso ancora ascoltargli-
Tutti hanno scivolato con l’età...
Ma stavola, come echi d’un campanello distante:
Mi ritornerà la gloria che sia Persia vecchia,
Le sue re, e sua grandezza stupenda
L'eredità nessuno ha già rubato via:
Quella splendore, oh Persepolis, che Vi foste!

Just a quick note for those who don't know:
Persepolis, built by the third king of Persia, Darius I [521-486 B.C.], was the center of the Great Persian Empire. The Persians called it Takht-E-Djamshid (Throne of Djamshid the Great) and the Greeks, Persepolis (Capital of Persia). Even now, at the site of Persepolis, situated on the outskirts of the city of Shiraz in present day south Iran, we can see the remains of the glory of the Persian Empire which flourished as early as about two millenniums and a half ago.
The site of Persepolis consists of many monuments built on a large terrace made by leveling a part of the mountain and piling up blocks of stone. The great terrace measured about 500 meters extending north to south and about 400 meters east and west and is 10 to 13 meters high facing the plain. The buildings include facilities for public ceremonies and reception of foreign delegates, private royal palace buildings and also such minor ones as treasuries.
After the reigns of Darius and Xerxes, the successors of the dynasty added some buildings until this capital was destroyed by Alexander, the King of Macedonia.
It's also interesting to know that Shiraz (present-day site of Persepolis) is the hometown to one of the four patrons from above. This poem was inspired by my long conversations with her, and that of what little I know about the spot and its history. |
