You cannot flee what you are

You cannot flee what you are - II

To my friend Corrado, unforgettable

The old man follows the structures of his thoughts when he considers her. The structures surface in the emerging light of his soul, undeniably.
He is Italian, an Italian of seventy, a vigorous seventy, a writer.
He has come to Vilnius to lecture for a small but discerning circle of readers.
His way of looking at her, in the embryonic gleam he saw in the woman taking form, could seem too dry and severe but it was incisive, in a way that made him a distinct enough personage in her eyes.
But how did the two of them come to meet?

Guardando l'Amore di una madre con le sue figlie

Siete fatte della stessa pasta Di stesso sangue e spirito apposta Create - e vivete il mondo unite. Solo voi vostra lingua capite. Io curioso vi guardo lontano.
