Milano, Ritratto familiare
Fuoco —
crepita, scoppietta, arde;
illumina e riscalda,
brucia, scotta, infiamma;
incenerisce e incendia,
ustiona, scioglie, abbaglia;
divampa e devasta,
nutre, guida, diverte;
salva e uccide,
accèca, accoglie, sorprende;
fuma e profuma,
càngia, attrae, riunisce;
ipnotizza e riverbera,
rilassa, distende, accende;
spaventa e danza,
respira, sussurra, ùlula;
stride e sbraita,
annerisce, esplode, distrugge;
decompone e celebra,
risplende, fluttua, comunica;
vivifica e purifica.
Fire —
crackles, pops, blazes;
lights and warms,
burns, scorches, inflames;
incinerates and ignites,
blisters, melts, dazzles;
explodes and devastates,
nourishes, guides, diverts;
saves and kills,
blinds, welcomes, surprises;
smokes and scents,
changes, attracts, gathers;
hypnotizes and reverberates,
relaxes, soothes, stimulates;
frightens and dances,
breathes, whispers, screams;
screeches and yelps,
blackens, blasts, destroys;
splits and celebrates,
glows, floats, communicates;
revives and purifies.
Fuoco
