Catalogue Note
"...perdonate se potete il mio silenzio,
questo mio triste clamoroso silenzio.
Sono ormai un povero dio decrepito,
annoiato dal tempo e dalle stelle,
incapace di tutto,
anche di sognarmi a volare,
Per oltrepassare Silenzio e
Solitudine,
sia per non scoprire la mia debo-
lezza innanzi tempo,
sia per non impegnare le mie ultime
forze completamente a fondo,
sia pure, detto senza alcun infingimento,
per mantenermi a dovuta distanza,
sotto una pioggia di ferro e fuoco..."
Osvaldo Licini a Giovanni Marchiori, 1948
