Ed è subito sera

Ognuno sta solo sul cuor della terra
trafitto da un raggio di sole:
ed è subito sera.

And suddenly it is evening

Everyone stands alone at the heart of the world
pierced by a ray of sunlight,
and suddenly it is evening.

Bella. I had come across Quasimodo in a collection of translations by Wilbur, but know nothing further of him. Thanks.
