Quotes
-
I know I owe much to Montale, I realise this upon rereading him, even if I did not love him as much as Eliot and Sereni, but he affected me a lot... especially his expression of the limits, of the fact that we cannot demand too much in 20th century of poetry as a source of truth.

...Yes, Naviglio is near, and was more mist-shrouded before its shingle, and the square full of acetylene-lighted stalls, black pans for roast chestnuts, and nail and crockery swallowers it wasn’t good to come there with your girlfriend.
