Quotes by Franco Fortini (?)

“Del tuo timido gatto
che scendeva la scala
dell'orto la mattina
con la sua ombra fina
lungo le terrecotte
che cosa è rimasto? Nulla
fuor che l'impronta impressa
dalle sue zampe nella
gettata di cemento
dove annusava incerto

Fra le tue grida : "Via,
via di lì, stupidino!"
Era luglio, era aperto
il cielo. Pensai: "Certo
rimarrà sempre un segno."
Ora il cemento è pietra
alle piogge d'ottobre.
Ostinate lo coprono
le foglie senza forma.
Toglile e potrai leggere

l'orma di quegli unghioli.”
― Franco Fortini

“Il combattimento per il comunismo è il comunismo. È la possibilità (scelta e rischio, in nome di valori non dimostrabili) che il maggior numero possibile di esseri umani viva in una contraddizione diversa da quella odierna.”
― Franco Fortini, Non solo oggi. Cinquantanove voci

“There are causes (of justice and solidarity, of international anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist war; let everyone choose among these the one best suited to them)  for which it may prove necessary to break  the toughest and dearest bonds; that is, to choose what to put first, loyalty to a country,  an ethnicity, a culture, a religious or familial tradition, to one’s own dead or instead to something other. I who write have put this ‘other’ first, every time I was faced with a conflict between duties and loyalty.”
― Franco Fortini
