“INNO ALLA DONNA - A. Merini
Stupenda
immacolata fortuna
per te tutte le creature
del regno
si sono aperte
e tu sei diventata la regina
delle nostre ombre
per te gli uomini
hanno preso
innumerevoli voli
creato l’alveare del
pensiero
per te donna è sorto
il mormorio dell’acqua
unica grazia
e tremi per i tuoi
incantesimi
che sono nelle tue mani
e tu hai un sogno
per ogni estate
un figlio per ogni pianto
un sospetto d’amore
per ogni capello
ora sei donna
tutto un perdono
e così come vi abita
il pensiero divino
fiorirà in segreto
attorniato
dalla tua grazia.”
― Alda Merini

“Di fronte al mare la felicità è un'idea semplice.”
― Guido Maria Brera, I diavoli: La finanza raccontata dalla sua scatola nera
