Hymn to the Sky Great azure,
an endless battle lost
in layers of mirror and lightning!

Your screaming splendor
takes me up
into your dumb purity.

Lo! your colors flood my heart,
wherein past and future clash,
where my dreams are your horizon.

Sky! embracing winds
filling your lungs, my cosmos
is a grateful lover,
while centuries write slowly!

• Marinetti Filippo Tommaso
