9 Gennaio 2026
I see the world gradually turning into an inhospitable land; I hear the approaching thunder that will destroy us too.
The line: “I see the world gradually turning into an inhospitable land; I hear the approaching thunder that will destroy us too” is a famous excerpt from the Diary of Anne Frank, which expresses her anguish over war and violence, but is balanced by hope for beauty and lasting peace.
The full line continues: “I can feel the suffering of millions of people; but, when I look up at the sky above, I think that everything will fall into place, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and… will return.”
Context and Meaning:
Anguish and Despair: Anne Frank, hidden in Amsterdam during the Holocaust, describes the world she perceives as hostile and threatening, symbolized by a “thunder” that will bring destruction.
Hope in Beauty: Despite the horror, her ability to look to the sky and find beauty in it gives her faith that evil will not last forever and that peace will return.
Resistance: The quote is a powerful example of human resilience, showing how even in the darkest circumstances, one can find the strength to believe in a better future.
In short, it’s a touching passage from the Diary of a girl who, despite experiencing the horror of war, does not lose faith in humanity and in the possibility of a return to normalcy and serenity.e ritorneranno la pace e la…”.

| testo originale inglese
It’s truly wonderful that I haven’t given up on all my ideals because they seem absurd and impossible to achieve. And yet I hold on to them because, despite everything, I still believe that people are truly good at heart. I simply can’t base my hopes on confusion, misery, and death. It’s truly wonderful that I haven’t given on all my ideals because they seem absurd and impossible to achieve. It’s truly wonderful that I haven’t given up on all my ideals because they seem absurd and impossible to achieve. I see the world gradually turning into an inhospitable land; I hear the approaching thunder that will destroy us too; I can sense the suffering of millions; But, if I look up at the sky, I think that everything will return to its place, that even this cruelty will end and that peace and tranquility will return. |
traduzione italiana:
È davvero meraviglioso che non abbia rinunciato a tutti i miei ideali perché mi sembrano assurdi e impossibili da realizzare. Eppure mi aggrappo a loro perché, nonostante tutto, credo ancora che le persone siano veramente buone in fondo. Semplicemente non posso basare le mie speranze sulla confusione, la miseria e la morte. È davvero meraviglioso che non abbia rinunciato a tutti i miei ideali perché mi sembrano assurdi e impossibili da realizzare. È davvero meraviglioso che non abbia rinunciato a tutti i miei ideali perché mi sembrano assurdi e impossibili da realizzare. Vedo il mondo trasformarsi gradualmente in una terra inospitale; sento il tuono avvicinarsi che distruggerà anche noi; Posso percepire la sofferenza di milioni di persone; ma se guardo il cielo, penso che tutto tornerà al suo posto, che anche questa crudeltà finirà e che torneranno la pace e la tranquillità.
