Ulisse

"...and there the disbanded knees and cuore,
in recognizing signs that Odysseus told her, sure.
He crying and ran, threw his arms
Odysseus's neck, kissed his head and said:
"Do not be, now, angry, do not be offended
if I told you, as soon as I saw you, my love.
My mind had always fear
in the chest that was deadly to some fool
with chatter: many plot, in fact, evil wiles.
[...]
But now that you have listed the signs very clear
our bed, which has not seen any other mortal, [...]
hours have convinced my mind, although so hard '" -Omero- Odissea
