Italian

lo sapeva bene l’alfieri quanto è difficile in ogni momento decidere che fare, che cosa è giusto. ce lo additano a scuola, modello di volontà − volli, fortissimamente volli − e invece seppe solo obbligarsi, legato alla sedia sennò col cavolo che studiava − avesse potuto amleto chiedere a qualcuno di legargli la spada alla mano, di guidarla a compiere il gesto che si doveva compiere! decidere una volta per tutte, ecco, deciso, lo faccio, e in quel momento − non un attimo più tardi, quando un nuovo dubbio non invitato potrebbe farsi vivo − è fatto, è finito, non se ne parla più...

English

vittorio alfieri well knew how difficult it is to decide − every single moment − what to do, what is right. it used to be presented as a model, in italian schools, a model of will − “volli, fortissimamente volli”, i wanted, extremely strongly wanted − and instead he was only able to oblige himself to study, tied to the chair otherwise he would not do it at all. if only hamlet might have asked somebody to tie his sword to his hand, and guide it to perform the act that had to be performed! deciding once and for all, here, decided, i do it, and in that same moment − not an instant later, when a new doubt, uninvited, might have appeared − everything is done, finished, nothing more to say about it...
