DEAR ,
quesrto I send message to Moose Bel Colle, my hometown, where he will spend a few days. The poem is
Ungheretti fits well to the ways in which to spend my parents' house those days. Loved the comment by Gianfranco Ravasi.
Tomorrow, I'll add a particular wish.
"I do not want to step into a maze of streets. I'm so tired shoulders. Let me as something lying in a corner and forgotten. Here you hear nothing but the heat and I'm good with the four somersaults smoke of the fire. " There are so many emotions that give rise to these lines. I'd like to emphasize only two. The first is right in that beautiful image of the 'tangle of streets "and evokes the poet who refuses to go. Christmas is, in fact, a party which, unfortunately, turn on the lights over the hearts of the roads. Yet we should get out of the same "hot good" of the house to discover that, in addition to opulence of the windows, there is so much fatigue, loneliness and misery that could bring comfort.
But it is also true that Christmas is a celebration of intimacy. And here enters the second image, that of 'four somersaults "smoke of the hearth. And 'just' the warm good, "the simplicity of the little things, feeling neglected, daily life and family. We are often crossed by a sudden weariness that is not the body but the soul. It comes from too much to do, you turn, from the shallowness and banality. You need to pause in silence to appease hearts and to pray, to find the ultimate truth of life and profound, the meaning of existence. And 'this is our Christmas, the rebirth of the spirit.
Love, Angel
