Ideal Temperature For 4 Week Old Baby

RESPONSE TO "ANONYMOUS": "give me the prose version-Paraphrase-DE 'THE DANCE OF THE SNOW' by Ada Negri?".

THE DANCE OF THE SNOW

the fields or roads,
quiet and mild,
whirling, snow
falls.

Dance flap white
it the wide sky playful,
then rests on the ground,
tired.

motionless in a thousand forms,
rooftops and chimneys,
on stones and gardens,
sleeping.

All of it is about peace
closed in deep oblivion,
indifferent world
silent.

Ada Negri ( on this blog on January 12, 2010)

Thank you for visiting.
If I understood her to "prose version" means a paraphrase, a literal explanation of the poem written in prose. I've written two, see which one makes his case.



THE DANCE OF THE SNOW


1) Snow Falling on the fields and on roads quiet and gentle, almost dancing. The thick layers of snow whirling in the sky almost joking immense. Then the snow covers the ground, tired. The snow has stopped, still, in many different ways, almost asleep, on roofs, chimneys, columns and gardens. The view of the snowy landscape gives a sense of peace, the men of the world, locked in a deep silence, silent indifference.


2) It snows: the white slopes down slightly, hovering like a game, almost eager to linger in the air before settling to the ground exhausted. The roofs, chimneys, columns along the roads and gardens cloaked in white sleeping in a profound stillness. All is peace all around. The world in its indifference seems to have forgotten to exist in the silence that suddenly turned itself off every item, every noise, ignoring the spell work from nature.
