What have we done? Something has happened that we are no longer free to undo. Will it always be this dark from now on, even during the day?
Wait, let me say goodbye to this spotless lightness that was mine. let me say goodbye to my youth. There are evenings, evenings of
Corinth and Athens. Full of ??? and smells that will never belong to me again. Hopeful mornings too. So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Listen! . . . Listen to the sound of their wings. They surround us, Orestes. These are the á‰rinnyes, the goddesses of remorse.
Come! Lead me to the sanctuary of Apollo; we will spend the night there, safe from men and á‰rinnyes.

Wait, let me say farewell to this unstained lightness which was once mine. Let me say farewell to my youth. There are evenings, evenings from
Corinth and Athens, full of ??? and smells which will never belong to me anymore. Mornings full of hope too. So, farewell, farewell, farewell.
Listen! . . . Listen, the sound of their wings. They are surrounding us Orestes. They are the Furies, the Godesses of Remorse.
Come! Take me to Apollo's sanctuary; we'll spend the night there, sheltered from men and Furies
