Desiderio imparato rispondendo vorrei fosse la mia arte— spingere in mezzo la parola, dove manca l’aiuto il fuoco è spento, l’istante non conosce la sua storia e le spezie messe in serbo non sanno piú di niente	Desire learned in response, thus I would I have my art be — pushing the word in the middle, where help is lacking, the fire spent, the moment does not know its history and spices laid aside no longer taste like anything.
		From The Book of Giving Back, 1995 Lines 617-623 Translation by Stephen Sartarelli
