La poesia è la prima figura dell'impegno: perchè non solamente  essa deve e 
può parlare della libertà, dire cioè la prepotente 'sortita'  dell'uomo dalle 
barriere di ogni condizionamento, e il superamento di  qualunque 'dato'; ma col 
suo solo apparire, si dà inizio alla sortita, al  processo di liberazione. La 
poesia, come la libertà è 'una sola parola' quella  che 'salva l'anima' in 
una suprema proposta qualitativa …". 
 
Poetry is the first figure of duty: because not only it must and  can speak 
of freedom, i.e. say of the pressing 'exit' of man out of the  barriers of any 
conditioning, and of the overcoming of any 'given'; but right  at its 
appearance you give way to the coming out, to the process of  liberation. Poetry, as 
freedom, is 'just one word' the one that 'saves your  soul' in a supreme 
qualitative proposal...
