Übersetzung - Italienisch-Englisch - La Canzone di Amore di J. Alfred Prufrok

If I thought that my answer was to someone
Who might one day return up to the world,
This flame without more flickering would stand still.
However, since no one ever turned back, alive,
From this abyss — should what I hear be true —
Without the fear of infamy, I answer you.
