Thanks for stopping by and provide this ...Hi Pavel,<br />Thanks for stopping by and provide this valuable feed-back.<br />I looked up again a few versions of the original text available on the web, and indeed some of them carry a comma. A comma, with its pause, would make sense and I am going to edit the original text and my translation accordingly. The comma itself doesn't change the verse, as "odors"still refers only to the "air", while the "sun"is listed as second source of "consolation". It does flows better with a comma ;0)<br />Keep in touch!<br />LiteraryJointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062870810456470369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938636279010602346.post-56705859017879607462013-06-16T01:52:09.543-07:002013-06-16T01:52:09.543-07:00I have a version of this poem with a coma after &q...I have a version of this poem with a coma after "di mosto e di vino,".
