Daniele Giancane  

poet, academic, Italy

The Tomb of Bahá'u'lláh

The tongue
keeps
its silence
about what
the eye saw
the ears heard
and what
caused the heart to tremble
over there
in the paradise of Bahji

Translation from the Italian by Karin Mennone
and Alessandra Lanfranconi with Roger White.

BAFA newsletter, January 1991, page 4.
