Allora alla malinconia si accompagna un senso di nostalgia per una lingua primigenia dove i colori con tutti i loro significati sono gli stessi colori per tutti, le piante sono le stesse piante per tutti, e i fiori, i suoni, i cerimoniali e tutto quello che e, e quello che e, per tutti, e che ogni cosa, sensazione, credenza si dice in un modo solo, universale" (8-9).
Franco Nasi, La malinconia del traduttore by Honnacker, Hans / Italica
From Ancient times, Ostia, the old port, is there - as is the temple of Fortuna Primigenia at Palestrina, much to the east of the city.
The Architecture of Rome by Davey, Peter / The Architectural Review
Tale destinazione potrebbe spiegarne la natura, in quanto il linguaggio di queste traduzioni potrebbe essere riportato alla loro natura "performativa" di canti di preghiera e di lode corale, quale era effettivamente la natura primigenia dei salmi.
Ilaria Scola, Interdiscorsivita nell'opera di Leone de' Sommi. Tra ... by Cherchi, Paolo / Italica
