Volano le parole
Come se fossero il fruscio
Del vento tra gli uliveti
Non s’ appoggiano neppure
Sul ramo dell’ulivo
Infastiditi dalla pace della campagna
Turbati dalla violenza delle parole
Cadono gli ulivi
Sulla terra nuda
S’accorgono le parole di un uomo
Appoggiato sul tronco
Raccolto nei sui pensieri
Pensieri
Che accolgono il cielo
Riunendo il ruscello con le pietre
Parole
Che schiacciano il cuore
E rimangono incollate all’anima

The Violence of Words
Words fly
As if they were rustling
Among the olive groves
They don’t even lean
On the olive branch
Annoyed by the peace of the countryside
The olives fall
On the naked land
To avoid the torment of the words
The words notice a man
Resting on the trunk
Collected in his thought
Thought
That embraces the sky
And gathers the stream with the stones
Words
That crush the heart
And remain glued to the soul
For the U50, the balance is there in spades, with link the closest comparison in my mind being the older Omega Seamaster Professionals. I had a 2254 that was very similar in proportion with link a case width/length ratio link of 0.88 to the Sinn's 0.87, and it was a treat to have on my 7-inch wrist, even if Omega would have considered it a larger watch in its day.
The watch will be lot 138 as part of the 2021 Phillips link New York Watch Auction, held over December 11th and 12th – the Ellison Speedmaster will go under the hammer on the 12th. If nothing else, the link sale ought to make the author of link Invisible Man much more visible to the watch collecting community.
