"si parla di attesa perché, mancando di intesa, resta sulla soglia di una profezia sempre pronta “a venire” e a restare poi, nella posizione sorretta dal pathos di una parola altra".

\"si parla di attesa perché, mancando di intesa, resta sulla soglia di una profezia sempre pronta “a venire” e a restare poi, nella posizione sorretta dal pathos di una parola altra\".
When talking about expectation, which is short on understanding, it rests on the threshold of a prophecy always about to come ( true?), and thus rests on the sustained position of the pathos of a n utterance too far,( i.e, one which didn't need to be made/ shouldn't have been made)
