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

Life

Quote_1.png
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
"The poet's other readers are the ancient poets, who look upon the freshly written pages from an incorruptible distance. Their poetic forms are permanent, and it is difficult to create new forms which can approach them."

Poet

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man's expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"From the night, his solitude, the poet finds day and starts a diary that is lethal to the inert. The dark landscape yields a dialogue."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"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."

Life

Salvatore Quasimodo
"The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue."

Death

Quote_1.png
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
"My readers at that time were still men of letters; but there had to be other people waiting to read my poems."

Man

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"The Resistance is a moral certainty, not a poetic one. The true poet never uses words in order to punish someone. His judgment belongs to a creative order; it is not formulated as a prophetic scripture."
