Wind, Attilio Bertolucci, 1929

July 7th, 2026 | |

“As the wolf is the wind
Which descends from the mountains to the plain.
The wheat lies down in the fields
Wherever he passes there is dismay.
Whistle in the clear mornings
Illuminating homes and horizons
It upsets the water in the sources
He chases the men to cover.
Then, tired, he falls asleep
and a wonder takes over things.”

Attilio Bertolucci, Wind, 1929
