He also praises the Swedish Academy for the courage to choose authors like Hemingway, Faulkner, Camus and Pasternak for the Nobel Prize in Literature - authors that don't fit into any fixed system... (S. Quasimodo, Documentary 1959)

No other nation, in fact, has succeeded in proposing, much less realizing, a similiar prize. Although it originates in a country of a few million men, the Nobel Prize is a model of universality (see UNO etc. - d.48), charged with an active and spiritual significance...

Culture, however, has always repulsed the recurrent threat of barbarism (see neo-nazis since 1989 etc. - d.48), even when the latter was heavily armed and seething with confused ideologies...

Theese poets, both past and contemporary - are known in Italy today, even if only for the volatile side of their restless temperaments and their brooding spirits...

They speak more forcefully to us than do the poets of other civilizations - that are decaying or already burried in the dust of a Renaissance rhetoric...

I have already said that the poet and writer help change the world...

You know that poetry reveals itself in solitude (eg forced by illness etc. - d.48), and that from this solitude it moves out in every direction... (S. Quasimodo, Banquet Sp. 1959)

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)
