The world today seems allied with the side opposed to poetry - And for the world, the poet's very presence is an obstacle to be overcome - He must be annihilated (why etc.? - d.48).

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)
