Pine Cone Event
Down on Sicily, in Palermo town,
Pine cone is famous and it wears a crown.
Bringing good luck with health and pure gold,
Through that divine spark and stories untold.
From a balcony in this ancient town
A painted pine cone fell tumbling down
It bounced against Antonio’s head
And bells of confusion rang instead
He staggered a step and started to sing
A rhyme and a melody both took wing
“My goodness, what a curious tone —
I’m a songsmith ‘n poet, fully grown!”
My dear Camilla, hear the tale I bring,
Of a falling cone and the songs I sing.
That lucky charm fell from the sky,
To catch the muse and make her fly.”
Farewell to cabbages,
No weighing of pumpkins,
Our veggie stall I’ll run no more—
I’ll write songs ‘n lyrics, my amore!”
Camilla smiled as she took his hand,
“I knew your soul was a poetic land.
I felt that spark, so bright and grand,
Since the very first touch of your gentle hand.”
Na Sicílii se keramické šišky často umisťují u vstupních bran, na balkony, terasy nebo v interiérech domů. Věří se, že přinášejí štěstí, zdraví a prosperitu.
A dále:
The Sicilian pine cone (pigna) is a traditional symbol of luck, fertility, and prosperity, frequently given as a housewarming gift to wish health and happiness.
Handcrafted in ceramics, particularly in Caltagirone, these items represent longevity and the „third eye“ of enlightenment.
První sloka vysvětlovací, jak to s těmi šiškami na Sicilii mají, další dvě v moll – jde o pád a reakci Antonia, pak sdělení Camille už v dur a dvě poslední vítězné taky v dur,
