Giacomo Leopardi

“ All hope deny," she said, "e'en hope; nor may
Those eyes of thine e'er shine, save through their tears."
This was a holiday; its pleasures o'er,
Thou seek'st repose; and happy in thy dreams
Recallest those whom thou hast pleased to-day,
And those who have pleased thee: not I, indeed,--
I hoped it not,--unto thy thoughts occur. ”
