DAGLI ALTI MONTI ...	HIGH IN THE MOUNTAINS ...
Michelangelo	tr. Leonard Cottrell
Dagli alti monti e d’una gran ruina, ascoso e circonscritto d’un gran sasso, discesi a discoprirmi in questo basso, contr’a mie voglia, in tal lapedicina.	High in the mountains by a deep ravine inside my massive block, enclosed, alone - but then brought down and stripped, I now am seen against my will and destitute of stone.
