"Si sta facendo sempre più tardi"
is one of my favorite books,
written by the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi.
Even though the English translation
is "It's getting later all the time",
I was not even thinking of Tabucchi's novel
while I wrote the title of this post.
I was reflecting on how everything stays in flux,
the season, the day, life,
how it is getting later all the time, indeed.
I leave you with
Roman Hofstetter's Andante cantabile,
This melody captures
what I tried to put in words a thousand times better.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHow interesting to hear about this book of Tabucchi's. Coincidentally I've just bought his 'Pereira Maintains' (Sostiene Pereira), having heard great reviews of it, and about to start reading it!
