Impressionistic short stories in which Borgese very subtly and recognizably draws human emotions with a lighthearted yet also slightly melancholic touch.
October 29, 2020
from Beautiful Women by Guiseppe Antonio Borgese (translated from the Italian by John Shepley):
The time and the season were the same as before. The sea was the same with its fresh evening glaze, and the mountains of rose-colored marble. One would have said that even the grains of sand on the beach were the same. All that was missing on the sand were the swift, light shadows, the bare, almost dancing feet, of two people who in a September sunset had invented love.
