20.10.2009 - Interpretation of dali48 

"In youth, one believes to be able to force happiness - later one forces oneself to believe in the happiness!" ... (S. Quasimodo)

The politician and the mediocre poet with their armour of symbols and mystic purities pretend to ignore the real poet. It is a story which repeats itself like the cock's crow - indeed, like the cock's third crow...

He (politician) sees the creative act as being both extratemporal and ineffectual within society - as if the poet, instead of being a man, were a mere abstraction...

Indeed philologists will never revive a written language - This is the right which belongs exclusively to the poet...

Pious abnegation, the renunciation of man by man, is nothing but a formula for death - The truly creative spirit always falls into the claws of wolves! - The poet's spoken discourse often depends on a mystique, on the spiritual freedom - that finds itself enslaved on earth...

In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man - which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life... (S. Quasimodo, Nobel L. 1959)
