The Old Lizard
By Federico García Lorca (1st stanza)
By Federico García Lorca (1st stanza)
In the parched path
I have seen the good lizard
(one drop of crocodile)
meditating.
With his green frock-coat
of an abbot of the devil,
his correct bearing
and his stiff collar,
he has the sad air
of an old professor.
Those faded eyes
of a broken artist,
how they watch the afternoon
in dismay!
Agostino Arrivaben, Camaleonte in estasi per una tartaruga svuotata, 2004
