It’s the Modern World, the End of Times, the Decline of the West, the Revolt of the Masses. It’s the 1920’s. It’s going to be Very Silly.

 
 
 
 

Occhio di falco

Gabriele d’Annunzio
Canto novo I, 222 (1882)

Io mi affretto alle pugne. Cavaliero
ignoto in arme brunita cavalco
per la campagna scabra, ma un pensiero
superbo m’arde ne l’occhio di falco.
Guardan le turbe; e - Chi è questo altiero
fanciul che passa? - elle ghignano.

I hasten toward the combat. An unknown
knight in gleaming armour, I ride
across the barren land, with a proud
thought burning in my falcon eyes.
The crowds stare; then scornfully ask
- Who is this haughty lad passing by?
