IT IS NOW EVENING: Poetry, by Salvatore Quasimodo

This poetry belongs to Water and Land (poetry collection published in 1930), with a structure very short and very deep ways. A poem which remained famous for its concise structure, exciting like a flash in the darkness that comes close:

Everyone is just the heart of the earth
pierced by a ray of sun:
and it is now evening.

(Salvatore Quasimodo)
