REVERENDISSIMO IOANNI K. CARTWRIGPT ET SUIS AUCTOR AMICUS PLENO CORDE

Salve, Umbria verde, e tu del puro fonte nume Clitumno! Sento in cuor l'antica patria e aleggiarmi su l'accesa fronte gl'itali iddii.

Tutto ora tace. Nel sereno gorgo

la tenue miro saliente vena:

rema, e d'un lieve pullular lo specchio

segna de l'acque.

Ride sepolta a l'imo una foresta

breve, e ramaggia immobile: il diaspro

par che si mischi in flessuosi amori

con l'amestista.

E di zaffiro i fior paiono, ed hanno

de l'adamante rigido i riflessi,

e splendon freddi e chiamano a i silenzi

del verde fondo.

Carducci.

Notre Dame du Lac April 26, 1960
