"Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man's expression whic..." — Salvatore Quasimodo

He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger.

The poet's spoken discourse often depends on a mystique, on the spiritual freedom that finds itself enslaved on earth.

In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life.

After the turbulence of death, moral principles and even religious proofs are called into question.
