DOPO LA MARTELLATA RICEVUTA,
TUTTI GLI ANNI
NELLA STAGIONE FREDDA
IL GINOCCHIO
LO TIENE COPERTO
CON DEI PANNI CALDI,
PER VIA DEI REUMATISMI GALOPPANTI.
E PENSARE CHE SE NON AVEVA RISPOSTO
ALLA DOMANDA RIVOLTALE DALLO SCULTORE
ERA SOLO PERCHE’
IN QUEL MOMENTO NON AVEVA NULLA DA
DIRE.
RECEIVED AFTER THE HAMMER,
EVERY YEAR
IN THE COLD SEASON
THE KNEE
HOLDING THE COVER
WITH THE WARM CLOTHS,
BY THE RHEUMATISM rampant.
AND TO THINK THAT HE DID NOT ANSWER
TO REQUEST sent to it by the sculptor
WHY WAS ONLY '
AT THAT TIME HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
- Legends: -
this sculpture is related to the anecdote according to which Michelangelo
contemplating the same at the end of the final checklist and amazed
himself from the realism of its forms, exclaimed:
"Why are you silent?"
Hitting the knee with a hammer wielding.
