Conosci la terra dove fioriscono i limoni?

Kennst du das Land, wo die Zitronen blühn,
Im dunkeln Laub die Gold-Orangen glühn,
Ein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Die Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht?
Kennst du es wohl?
Dahin! dahin
Möcht ich mit dir, o mein Geliebter, ziehn.

Kennst du das Haus? Auf Säulen ruht sein Dach.
Es glänzt der Saal, es schimmert das Gemach,
Und Marmorbilder stehn und sehn mich an:
Was hat man dir, du armes Kind, getan?
Kennst du es wohl?
Dahin! dahin
Möcht ich mit dir, o mein Beschützer, ziehn.

Kennst du den Berg und seinen Wolkensteg?
Das Maultier sucht im Nebel seinen Weg;
In Höhlen wohnt der Drachen alte Brut;
Es stürzt der Fels und über ihn die Flut!
Kennst du ihn wohl?
Dahin! dahin
Geht unser Weg! O Vater, laß uns ziehn!

§

Conosci tu la terra dove fioriscono i limoni,

gli aranci dorati rilucono fra le foglie scure,

una mite brezza spira dal cielo azzurro,

il mirto immoto resta e alto si erge l’alloro,

La conosci tu, forse ?

Laggiù, laggiù

Con te, amore mio, io vorrei andare.

Conosci tu la casa ? Il tetto riposa su alte colonne,

risplende la sala, la stanza riluce,

e si ergono statue di marmo che mi guardano:

Che cosa ti hanno fatto, povera bambina ?

La conosci tu forse ?

Laggiù, laggiù

Con te, mio difensore, io vorrei andare.

Conosci tu la montagna e il suo sentiero fra le nuvole ?

Il mulo cerca il suo cammino nella nebbia;

Nelle grotte vive la stirpe antica dei draghi;

Si sgretola la rupe e su di essa si chiudono i flutti,

La conosci tu, forse ?

Laggiù, laggiù

E’ il nostro cammino; andiamo, padre mio!

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

  1. Quel lago ,se non erro, ha ispirato Mann,Kafka e altri perchè ha un tal fascino …C’è tanto amore per la natura e verso l’uomo in Goethe,uomo che si trova spesso davanti alla scelta tra il male e il bene e deve trovare nella ragione ma non solo gli strumenti per capire che cosa è male e per scegliere.Ho visitato la sua casa di città e quella di campagna e sono eguali, piene di fiori ,di rampicanti ,di finestre e di libri.

  2. mi piace come scrittore le Affinità elettive è un romanzo bellissimo.

  3. Questi versi meravigliosi fanno sentire la Sicilia nelle mani: i limoni, gli aranci, il cielo azzurro, la brezza, la montagna, il mulo, le grotte… poesia bellissima,
    mi tocca personalmente, per me é di struggente nostalgia – giuseppe

  4. Miei cari ,ho scritto “lago” perchè lui spesso usava tal termine nel descrivere il mare e credo si riferisse alla costiera amalfitana ,comunque a quei colori che lo avevano affascinato ,così lontani dalle brume tedesche.Tinti

  5. Senza nessun dubbio! si riferifa sicuramente alla costiera Sorrentina-amalfitana datesi che ha soggiornato in quiei luoghi

    • In verità si riferiva al Lago di Garda, parte iniziale del suo “Viaggio in Italia”.

  6. Cari amici..
    se volete saperlo Goethe si riferiva espressamente alla bellissima natura della Sicilia.La poesia infatti parla della terra in cui “fioriscono i limoni”….nel periodo in cui ha scritto la poesia non solo era sicuramente in Sicilia ma per di più era in visita all’orto botanico di Palermo che in quel periodo ,dato il clima,era l’unico posto in cui poteva trovare i limoni in fiore….Stella

  7. Ben detto Stella …. questo canto di Goethe è in primis un inno alla Sicilia, in secundis all’ Italia tutta.Sandro

  8. Mi scusino quelli che hanno parlato di Sicilia e di costiera amalfitana ma quest’ode di Goethe è stata ispirata dal lago di Garda, Il primo luogo dove, nel 1786, vide gli agrumi.

    Sicuramente era… la costiera Amalfitana, oppure la Sicilia, oppure la Calabria, oppure il lago di Garda…oppure… di certo Goerthe parla dell’Italia!!! L’Italia è bella e fa innamorare,, basta avere sensibilità al bello!

  10. qualcuno ha ,con ragione,avanzato l’ipotesi che il poeta fosse stato ispirato dalla vista dei numerosi agrumeti che,non appena lasciata roma ,egli aveva incontrato ,attraversando la piana di Fondi a circa 100 km da roma,percorrendo la strada Appia,diretto al sud. Si trattava della qualità di arance cosiddette “bionde” particolarmente grandi di dimensioni e di un vistoso colore giallo dorato simile all’oro. risalendo la penisola dal sud,questi erano gli ultimi luoghi,per latitudine,che potevano permettere tali tipi di coltivazioni,necessitando essi di unclima mite e soleggiato.si pùò intuire pertanto la sorpresa di Goethe alla vista di queste magnifiche piante,per lui sconosciute.

  11. F*ckin’ amazing things here. I’m very glad to look
    your article. Thank you so much and i am having a
    look forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a
    e-mail?

  12. Dicono che non sia stato in Sicilia, bensì a Torbole, sul lago di Garda, che a Goethe eruppero dall’anima i versi famosi: «Conosci tu la terra dove fioriscono i limoni (…) dove una mite brezza spira dal cielo luminoso?».

    • Lo sappiamo .. lo sappiamo.
