Ek din kaartik apanee pareshaaniyon kaa bojh lekar paark men baiṭhakar sochataa rahataa hai. Tabhee ek shakhs aataa hai aur kahataa hai ki main bhagavaan hoon, sab pareshaanee ṭheek kar doongaa.

Charles Peguy (1873-1914), letterato di talento, socialista, si convertì al cattolicesimo nel 1907, ma per la sua intransigenza non fu mai accettato completamente da nessuna delle due comunità. La sua opera più famosa, "I misteri di Giovanna d'Arco" si compone di quattro diverse opere, uscite in tempi diversi, opere in prosa e in versi sciolti, che per il linguaggio moderno, ripetizioni quasi ipnotiche e per il contenuto profondamente religioso, assolutamente non banale, sono estremamente suggestive e interessanti, in ordine: "Il mistero della carità di Giovanna d'Arco", "Il portico del mistero della seconda virtù", "Il mistero dei santi innocenti", "Il mistero della vocazione di Giovanna d'Arco", queste ultime due postume.

"Paolo Avanzi ci mostra una ulteriore interessante tappa del suo percorso letterario, con attenzione alla dimensione della ricerca poetica, e confrontandosi con le ricerche più attuali della poesia contemporanea.In particolare i testi di questa silloge ci mostrano una diretta connessione tra esigenza espressiva e simbolismo, tra la liricità della scrittura e una forma allusiva, che ricrea il mondo fragile ma intenso dei sentimenti umani, con le sue ossessioni e la sua contingenza.

Kahlil Gibran’s reflections on the wistful beauty, lofty majesty, and abiding peace of Eastern wisdom revolutionized Arab literature. This collection of dramatic poems uses the dialogue between age and youth as a platform to discuss deep subjects such as freedom, death, and the eternal soul. From “Of Life and Sorrow” to “Of Science and Knowledge”, Gibran’s vision transcends boundaries of religion and culture, finding beauty and wisdom in the universal struggles of everyday life.

Ils forment une «parade clinquante», ce sont «des armes dangereuses, un baiser / à retardement». Enfants réels ou allégoriques, ils disparaissent sous nos yeux. Pour les attraper au moment crucial, Comment nous sommes nés déploie ses phrases amples, ses vers durs, monnaie qui brille au fond de la fontaine. Suspendus entre ciel et terre, entre deux époques; au bowling, au centre commercial, au ciné-parc, les personnages de ces poèmes arrivent à la fin de leur histoire.
