Quotes by Dario Bellezza (?)

“nel dolore è compimento felice. / Chi ama la vita lo conservi e bruci, / ma resti impassibile, di marmo / a contemplare la sventura mia / e il disinganno. Ché solo morte / esiste e a lei m’affido, tranquillo / negatore terrestre delle Stelle».”
― Dario Bellezza, Tutte le poesie
