Poeta a Poeta: Saffo, Quasimodo, Doolittle – vengodalmare

Ermes, io lungamente ti ho invocato./ In me è solitudine: tu aiutami,/ despota, ché morte da sé non viene;/… nulla m’alletta tanto che consoli./ Io voglio morire:/ voglio vedere la riva d’Acheronte/fiorita di loto fresca di rugiada.

Google English tr: Hermes, I have long invoked you. / In me there is solitude: you help me, / despot, for death does not come of itself; / … nothing tempts me so much that it consoles. / I want to die: / I want to see the Acheron shore / Blooming lotus fresh with dew.

All poems and texts on this site are copyright of the author(s) and should not be used or reproduced in any form without consent, yet ~
keeping in mind the words of the poet Pierre Joris, ". . . I make the arrogant claim that the poet is possibly the last, in Robert Kelly’s words, ‘scientist of the whole… to whom all data whatsoever are of use.’ . . . The prerogative of the poet is to steal directly whatever is of use, without needing to theoretically kowtow via analysis, explicatio, critical cloning or proof of pc allegiance."
