Man

Quote_1.png
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
"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

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Europeans know the importance of the Resistance; it has been the shining example of the modern conscience."

Conscience

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

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
"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."

Certainty

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Even a polemic has some justification if one considers that my own first poetic experiments began during a dictatorship and mark the origin of the Hermetic movement."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Poetry is also the physical self of the poet, and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry."

Poetry

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