I Saw His Round Mouth's Crimson Poem by Wilfred Owen

I Saw His Round Mouth's Crimson

Rating: 3.1


I saw his round mouth's crimson deepen as it fell,
Like a Sun, in his last deep hour;
Watched the magnificent recession of farewell,
Clouding, half gleam, half glower,
And a last splendour burn the heavens of his cheek.
And in his eyes
The cold stars lighting, very old and bleak,
In different skies.

Italian translation: Vidi il rosso cremisi della sua bocca rotonda incupirsi mentre cadeva, Come un sole, basso, nella sua ultima ora; Vidi il magnifico ritiro del commiato, Rannuvolarsi, per metà brillante, per metà torvo, E un ultimo splendore bruciare i cieli della sua guancia. E nei suoi occhi Le fredde stelle accendersi, antiche e tetre, In altri cieli. ___ yet, I don't fully understand the meaning of ''the heavens of his cheek.''
