Again and Again I Have Seen Life's Evil Poem by Eugenio Montale

Again and Again I Have Seen Life's Evil



Again and again I have seen life's evil:
it was the strangled brook, still gurgling,
it was the curling of the shriveled leaf,
it was the fallen horse.

I have known no good except the miracle
that reveals the divine Indifference:
it was the statue in the drowsy trance
of noon, the cloud, the cruising falcon.
