He (Giovanni Villani) says here (Croniche Fiorentine) that, for the benefit of his contemporaries, Dante "as a poet thoroughly enjoyed ranting and raving in his Commedia perhaps more than was proper - but possibly his exile was to blame!"...
Not even Ariosto and Tasso were free, not the Abbot Parini, nor Alfieri, nor Foscolo: the rhetoric of these persecuted men - places them in time among the propagators of the voice of man - a voice that seems to cry out in the wilderness - and instead corrodes society's untruths...
The resistance is a moral certainty - not a poetic one...
Europeans know the importance of the Resistance - it has been the shining example of the modern conscience...
The Resistance is the perfect image - of the conflict between the present and the past...
The politician wants men to know how to die courageously - the poet wants men to live courageously...
His (politician) only purpose, as always, is to deprive man of 3 or 4 fundamental liberties - so that in his eternal cycle man continually retrieves - what has been taken from him...
The poet is alone - Around him rises a wall of hate - built with stones thrown by literary mercenaries...
They (men of letters) serve only - I say "serve" - to delay by a few moments the voice of the poet in the world - In time, according to Leonardo da Vinci- "every wrong is made right!"... (S. Quasimodo, Nobel Lec. 1959)
