Vincenzo Cardarelli | Autunno veneziano /Venetian Autumn, 1931

L'alito freddo e umido m'assale
di Venezia autunnale,
Adesso che l'estate,
sudaticcia e sciroccosa,
d'incanto se n'è andata,
una rigida luna settembrina
risplende, piena di funesti presagi,
sulla città d'acque e di pietre
che rivela il suo volto di medusa
contagiosa e malefica.
