Clerihew for Ferrara


GIORGIO BASSANI

For Giorgio Bassani
His mission was to pass on the
Neglected truth that the nostalgic
Ends inevitably in the tragic.

A Caricature


Daily Dose

From The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, by Giorgio Bassani, translated by William Weaver

EVEN

"Even in a city as small as Ferrara, you can manage, if you like, to disappear for years and years, one from another, living side by side like the dead."

From page 246
