    It’s not Love. But what fault is it of mineif my affections do not becomeLove? Very much my fault, I would say,when I can live from day to dayon mad purity, blind pity…Make a scandal of meekness.But the violence of the senses and intellectthat has confounded me for yearswas the only way.

    I, too, head for the Baths of Caracalla,thinking—with my old, magnificentprivilege of thinking…(And let there still be a god in me that thinks,lost, weak, and childish,yet whose voice is so humanit is almost a song.) Oh, to leavethis prison of poverty!To be free of the yearningthat makes these ancient nights so splendid!He who knows yearning, and he who does not,have something in common: man’s desires are humble.

    Forse è scoppiata,la Bomba, fuori dalla mia coscienza.Anzi, è così certamente. E la finedel Mondo è già accaduta: una cosamuta, calata nel controluce del crepuscolo.Ombra, chi opera in questa èra.Ah, sacro Novecento, regione dell’animain cui l’Apocalisse è un vecchio evento!
