PARIGORIA
country of light and fire
of life and death
where time
born from the dark night
and pain
had turned to tragedy.
Kingdom of the immortal gods
to wrap today
flames the Chimera.
But the North Wind again
will save your children,
will not return the Barbarians
hungry
napeilisoun roots for your own
and will finally married
Poverty and Resource
to give birth to Eros.
CONSOLAZIONE
Terra della luce e del fuoco
della vita e della morte
dove il tempo nacque
the dark night
fortified and pain in the tragedy.
Kingdom of the immortal gods
surround you today
the flames of Chimera.
Borea But again
save your children, the barbarians will not come back
hungry
to threaten your roots and
Penia and Poros finally join
to generate love.
The poem refers to a country where she was born the light from the dark depths of Chaos, the birthplace of drama, tragedy, where they reign of the immortal gods' Olympus. This country, now in trouble with the 'help of the wind Boreas will not let the barbarians to cancel its roots, its traditions, its culture.
The country will be saved by the god of love. Love, the promoter element of life since ancient times, is the new hope.
So this country of which the poet does not reveal the name, but clearly alluding to Greece, will overcome the current difficulties reviving its myths, based on its rich culture of his indelible past. In this way alienate hungry barbarians who want to submit.
The poet realizing the bad situation of his country wants to leave, through poetry, hope and consolation to his countrymen and give a lesson to the world: the rich Greek culture will not allow to be destroyed the country where it was born.
The verse is free and not be guided by specific rules.
This the reading of the poem flows with a nice tone of lyricism that drags you into the world dell'affascinante Greek mythology.
The poem has an optimistic spirit and ended with the hope that the country will be saved and the barbarians will fall away.
The poet uses the technique dell'allusione not to reveal who are the enemies, represented by the Chimera and the barbarians.
