The Country Of Secret Syllables

Salvatore Quasimodo
From the night, his solitude, the poet finds day

Salvatore Quasimodo
and starts a diary that is lethal to the inert.

Salvatore Quasimodo
The dark landscape yields a dialogue.

Salvatore Quasimodo
It is unknown to you,

Salvatore Quasimodo
that country where each day I go down deep to nourish secret syllables.

Giuseppe Ungaretti
I flood myself with the light of the immense.

Giuseppe Ungaretti
I'm left with the emptiness of an endless secret.
