"Angelic beauty! Every lovely face, where I look, seems like an image made in imitation of your face."
Ahhh Leopardi, how you awaken my soul. Poetry lovers, you'll delight in the seducing allure of his verse. Considered one of the Italian Romantics, Leopardi captures mankind's tumultuous relationship with nature and the transience of youth, leaving behind only the illusion of happiness. I recommend Jonathan Galassi's translation!
