Stone and Silicon: Theatrical monologue

By Baltasar

"My house is not quiet, I am not loud ;
But for us God fashioned our fate together.
I am the swifter, at times the stronger,
My house more enduring, longer to last.
At times I rest; my dwelling still runs;
Within it I lodge as long as I live.

<< My house is not quiet, I am not loud ;

But for us God fashioned our fate together.

I am the swifter, at times the stronger,

My house more enduring, longer to last.

At times I rest; my dwelling still runs;

Within it I lodge as long as I live.

Should we two be severed, my death is sure.>>

(Riddle n° 85 from the Exeter Book)

<< La mia casa non è silenziosa, io non sono rumoroso;

Ma per noi Dio ha plasmato il nostro destino insieme.

Sono il più veloce, a volte più forte.

La mia casa è più duratura, dura più a lungo.

Dentro di esso alloggio finché vivo.

Se dovessimo essere recisi, la mia morte sarebbe certa >>
