“Nice? It’s the only thing,”
said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. “Believe me,
my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply
messing about in boats.”
[Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows]

“Bello?
È l’unica cosa bella, - sentenziò il Topo d’acqua solennemente, mentre si raccoglieva
in avanti per la battuta. – “Credimi, mia giovane amica, non c’è nulla,
assolutamente nulla che valga la metà del semplice bazzicare intorno alle
barche. Semplice bazzicare.”
