The girl with umbrella. Praise to the lightness
“Were I to choose an auspicious image for the new millennium, I would choose that one:
the sudden agile leap of the poet-philosopher [Cavalcanti, Decameron VI, 9] who raises himself above the weight of the world, showing that with all his gravity he has the secret of lightness, and that what many consider to be the vitality of the times — noisy, aggressive, revving and roaring — belongs to the realm of death, like a cemetery for rusty old cars”.
Quoted from Italo Calvino, Emblem for lightness, American lessons.
