27.05.2013 - Interpretation of dali48

The intimate is the innermost - and is always based on a relationship to "God" - to a friend or partner - to familiar people or things - without which we do not feel ourselves as ourselves - not at home... (ARTE, Philosophy 27.10.2009)

After the war in 1945 he (S. Quasimodo, 1901-1968) joined the Italian Communist party, but resigned in protest - when the party insisted that he should write political poems...

Quasimodo's first wife Bice Donetti died in 1948 - and he married the dancer Maria Cumani - They separated permanently in 1960 - His daughter Orietta was born out of wedlock in 1935 to Amelia Specialetti - Quasimodo's last 4 volumes of verse show a continuing concern for social justice - but there are also fond memories of past friends and past loves - His last book of verse was Dare e Avere (1966, To Give and to Have)...

A modernist but acutely conscious of the tension between tradition and innovation - he wrote many essays on literature and translated classical writers and drama - among them such writers as W. Shakespeare, Molière (Tartuffe), Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Virgil, Catullus... (On S. Quasimodo from P.A.C.)
