About this ebook

Eugenio Montale’s idiosyncratic poetry has challenged many English-language translators because of its obscure, often cryptic language. This essential anthology of Montale's work, the latest and most comprehensive English translation of this century, features poems from his masterpiece collections "Ossi di Seppia" (Cuttlefish Bones, 1925,) "Le Occasioni" (The Occasions, 1939,) and "Xenia” (1966.)

    Cover image: Portrait of Eugenio Montale

    An intense, unusual picture of Poet Eugenio Montale.

    Sit the noon out, pale and absorbed in thought

    Sit the noon out, pale and absorbed in thought

    beside a burning garden wall,

    hear, among blackthorns and brambles,

    clicks of blackbirds, rustles of snakes.

    In the cracked earth or on the vetch,

    spy the red ants’ lines

    now interrupted, now interwoven

    on top of tiny piles.

    Observe through branches the distant

    throbbing of scales of sea,
