Expressionist painting. Signed by Author with Authentication. Artist: Emanuela Volpe https://www.emanuelavolpe.it/ Calligram inspired by a poetry of Dylan Thomas: "This bread I brake". The words of the poetry are used to create the image of the typical bread of Milan (Italy), named "Michetta". Text of calligram ITALIAN TRANSLATION: Questo pane che rompo Questo pane che rompo un tempo fu frumento, Questo vino su un albero straniero Nel suo frutto fu immerso; L’uomo di giorno o il vento nella notte Gettò a terra le messi, la gioia dell’uva infranse. Un tempo, in questo vino, il sangue dell’estate Pulsò nella carne che vestì la vite; Un tempo, in questo pane Il frumento fu allegro in mezzo al vento; L’uomo spezzò allora il sole, abbatté allora il vento. Questa carne che rompete, il sangue a cui lasciate devastare per le vene, furono Frumento ed uva, nati Da radice e da linfa sensuali; voi Bevete del mio vino, spezzate del mio pane. ORIGINAL: This bread I break was once the oat, This wine upon a foreign tree Plunged in its fruit; Man in the day or wine at night Laid the crops low, broke the grape’s joy. Once in this time wine the summer blood Knocked in the flesh that decked the vine, Once in this bread The oat was merry in the wind; Man broke the sun, pulled the wind down. This flesh you break, this blood you let Make desolation in the vein, Were oat and grape Born of the sensual root and sap; My wine you drink, my bread you snap.
