26.10.2009 - Interpretation von dali48 
 
"Pietà, ch'io non sia / senza voci e figure nella memoria un giorno!" - (Too bad that I'm not / without voice and shape in memory for one day, etc. - d.48)... (from 'Airone morto') 

Everyone stands alone on the heart of the earth / Transfixed by a sun-ray / And it is suddenly night"... 

During WWII Quasimodo was a member of an anti-Fascist group - and was briefly imprisoned... 

Giorno Dopo Giorno (1947) reflected his country's hardships and his horror at Italy's role in the war - It has been characterized perhaps the best volume of poetry to come out of World War II in any country... 

Quasimodo died suddenly - While presidenting over a poetry competition in Amalfi, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage - and died in Naples, on June 14, 1968 ...  

Recurrent themes in Quasimodo's works are memories of childhood - and the life and culture of Sicily - He connects his impressions of the landscape to literary associations - and the cultural heritage from Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and other invaders... (S. Quasimodo, Other Ressources 1959)
