Poetry

The name does not say anything to an English person, so I translate with package of cakes, the Itlian expression dolci del Motta. It was common for the Milanese to go to the...

poetry

IMAGINARY ROOTS. Section One: Paternallly, enigmas. A short note as an introduction. It is really difficult to translate the Italian word Paternale; literally, both in Italian and in English the paternale is a talking-off, at a first level. At a second level, in Italian, it is also what belongs to... Sign in to see full entry.

Eliot and Montale: continuation

The way of proceeding by Montale is very different. Although Arsenio has some of the features that characterize the dramatis personae in Eliot, he remains an isolated case, almost outside to the style and the figures in Ossi di seppia, although Arsenio belongs to the collection. Somebody, anyway,... Sign in to see full entry.
