Brothers, love is a teacher, but a hard one to obtain: learning to love is hard and we pay dearly for it. It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship, for it is not just for a moment that we must learn to love, but forever.
(Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)

Poetry Friday: "Un edificio, di notte"
un edificio, di notte improvvisamente in una stanza si accende una luce. dopo qualche minuto, si spegne
(a building, at night suddenly a light appears in one of the rooms. after a few minutes, it goes out)
A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook wall. She claims it is by the legendary Italian avant-garde composer and pianist Giancarlo Cardini, but I have been unable to verify its authorship or its provenance. I loved it, though.
