    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...
