METTERE IN VERSI PAROLE CHE L'AUTORE HA USATO
PER UN ALTRO FINE
L.T.
Fulvio Papi
da: La memoria del
viaggio Prigioniero
Non si tratta del fantasma del morire,
Ma solo di quel non ritornare
Mai
Che incatena un giorno
All'altro, invisibile,
distratto,
Nascosto da quella intensità del finito,
Un errore emotivo del vuoto
Che è la
danza quotidiana
Delle passioni
Nuove, se ci sono,
O comunque d'abitudine,
anche
Se più o meno conosciute
A chi ne è prigioniero.
Giorgio Manganelli
da: Un pulviscolo di Psiche
Risata
La ninfa è aerea
Ed esile,
E dunque la si muri
In una
lamina continuata
D'oro, costellata
Di preziose pietre,
E si celebri
Il delicato
candore di madrepora,
E la variata
Tinta della conchiglia,
E si aggiungano ex voto
Di
perlacea luce,
A render grazie e dei languori
Vellicanti e della felice
Risata...
Donald H. Rumsfeld
da: A New Kind of
War
This Is Not a War
This is not a war
Against an
individual,
A group, a religion
Or a country.
Even the vocabulary of this war
Will be different.
When we "invade
The enemy's territory,"
We may well be invading
His cyberspace.
There may not be as many beachheads
Stormed as opportunities
Denied. Forget
About "exit strategies"; we're looking
At a sustained
Engagement that
carries
No deadlines. We have
No fixed rules about
How to deploy our troops;
We'll instead establish guidelines...
The public may see
No apparent victory, or may
Be unaware of major victories.
"Battles" will be fought
By customs officers
Stopping suspicious persons at our borders
And diplomats securing
Cooperation...
But if
This is a different kind of war,
One thing is unchanged:
America remains
indomitable.
Our victory will come
With Americans living
Their lives day by day,
Going to work,
Raising their children
And building their dreams as they always
have.
Richard Reeves
da:
How to Make Money from the Coming Meltdown
The way we
work
An axe is hanging
Over the workplace
But economics
Is
basically psychology
Dressed up in fancy graphs,
And today's fear
Of an economic
downturn
Has a good chance of creating
Tomorrow's reality.
The current recession
Is rhetorical, but
The trouble is that people
Believe
The rhetoric and start
Acting accordingly - cutting
Spending, delaying investment,
Trimming staff -
Which
has the effect of sending
The economy
Into a tailspin.
Simon Blackburn
Da: The Professor of Complacence
And the Circus Leaves Town
Bullshitters are typically voluble,
And to some audiences readable.
But this is smoke,
Since it is a focused
Curiosity that matters.
Then the question stares
Us in the face:
Why can't we
say more?
In other words, with proper
Attention to the notion
Of an inquiry, and
to the notion
Of a community of inquirers,
Any remaining air escapes
From the pragmatist
balloon,
And the circus leaves town.
