Purchased "Frank: Sonnets" by Diane Seuss, in Italian, translated by Alessandra Brava and Maria Basile. It's a beautiful edition. Maybe that's how I'll learn the languages.

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain—
All, all the stretch of these great green states—
And make America again!
