Il mio sogno entrò in fiaba e divenne terra.
(pagina 500)


In lieblicher Blaue bluhet mit dem metallenen Dache der Kirckturm…
(Nel soave azzurro brilla con il suo tetto metallico il campanile…)


Hölderlin

Dove abita poeticamente l’uomo?

Quando l’abitare ci conduce al tempo, al lavoro, al quotidiano, il poeticamente contraddice il fare (ossia l’abitare)…

E a cosa ci porta questa riflessione?

Gli angeli tutti sono presi
da un nuovo turbamento:
certo non fu mai cosí intenso
e vago il desiderio.
Forse qualcosa ora s’annunzia
che in sogno tu comprendi.
Salute a te, l’anima vede:
ora sei pronta e attendi.
Tu sei la grande, eccelsa porta,
verranno a aprirti presto.
Tu che il mio canto intendi sola:
in te si perde la mia parola
come nella foresta.


(Rilke)

E cosa ci porta questa ulteriore riflessione? Chi ascolta e chi intende?

Hellooo!!!
Anybody home???



E non era già accaduto che proprio soltanto grazie a uno stare a guardare si fosse creato qualcosa, un oggetto, una presenza di fronte, un nesso, addirittura una legittimità? (pagina 26)

Perché, del resto, non per la prima volta, mi sembra discutibile chiamare "io" quello che ero in passato, non solo il bambino, ma anche l'uomo dell'anno scorso. La mia incertezza sull'"io" è ugualmente grande per tutti gli anni, … (pagina 97)

Epigraph
Information from the French Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to your language.
SCIS LEBEDUS SIT GABIIS DESERTIOR ATQUE
FIDENIS VICUS ; TAMEN ILLIC VIVERE VELLEM,
OBLITUSQUE MEORUM, OBLIVISCENDUS ET ILLIS
NEPTUNEM PROCUL E TERRA SPECTARE FURENTEM

Tu sais que Lebedos est un village
plus perdu que Gabies et Fidène.
Et cependant c'est là que je voudrais vivre,
oublier les miens, oublié d'eux aussi,
et regarder au loin, depuis la terre, les fureurs de Neptune.
Horace
