Death

Salvatore Quasimodo

Salvatore Quasimodo
"At the point when continuity was interrupted by the first nuclear explosion, it would have been too easy to recover the formal sediment which linked us with an age of poetic decorum, of a preoccupation with poetic sounds."

Age

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger."

Poetry

Salvatore Quasimodo
"Religious power, which, as I have already said, frequently identifies itself with political power, has always been a protagonist of this bitter struggle, even when it seemingly was neutral."

Power

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo

Man

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"A poet clings to his own tradition and avoids internationalism."

Life

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"An exact poetic duplication of a man is for the poet a negation of the earth, an impossibility of being, even though his greatest desire is to speak to many men, to unite with them by means of harmonious verses about the truths of the mind or of things."

"The mint from your breath, the milk from your breast, the best of your mind, now in its worst state of condition. From the womb to the tomb, as a mild flower, you break your petals upon blossom, and seize death openly. Leaving your fragrance to spin and dance, one last time before being blown away."
