Lost in Translation?

I’m reading Poetry by “primitive” cultures that’s been transcribed and translated into Italian. I feel like somehow I’m not getting the “entire” picture here, but I’m just going to press on.

The proverbs I *do* get, though. It’s amazing how wisdom shines through in another language, even if you’re not fluent.
