The Poplar Fields by William Cowper

The poplars are felled, farewell to the shade
And the whispering sound of the cool colonnade:
The winds play no longer and sing in the leaves,
Nor Ouse on his bosom their image receives.

Twelve years have elapsed since I first took a view
Of my favourite field, and the bank where they grew,
And now in the grass behold they are laid,
And the tree is my seat that once lent me a shade.

The blackbird has fled to another retreat
Where the hazels afford him a screen from the heat;
And the scene where his melody charmed me before
Resounds with his sweet-flowing ditty no more.

My fugitive years are all hasting away,
And I must ere long lie as lowly as they,
With a turf on my breast and a stone at my head,
Ere another such grove shall arise in its stead.

'Tis a sight to engage me, if anything can,
To muse on the perishing pleasures of man;
Short-lived as we are, our enjoyments, I see,
Have a still shorter date, and die sooner than we.

Auschwitz by Salvatore Quasimodo

ein Gedicht über Auschwitz von quasimodo durch lesen
Amerikaner David Hart, Künstler\From La prova scritta ditaliano, Milan: McGraw-Hill, 2003, Chapter 7.

Laggiù, ad Auschwitz, lontano dalla Vistola*,
amore, lungo la pianura nordica,
in un campo di morte: fredda, funebre*,
la pioggia sulla ruggine* dei pali*
e i grovigli* di ferro dei recinti*:
e non albero o uccelli nellaria grigia,
o su dal nostro pensiero, ma inerzia
e dolore che la memoria lascia
al suo silenzio senza ironia o ira.

Da quellinferno aperto da una scritta
bianca:Il lavoro vi renderà liberi
uscì continuo il fumo
di migliaia di donne spinte fuori
allalba dai canili* contro il muro
del tiro a segno* o soffocate urlando
misericordia allacqua con la bocca
di scheletro sotto le docce a gas.
le troverai tu, soldato, nella tua
storia in forme di fiumi, danimali,
o sei tu pure cenere* dAuschwitz,
medaglia* di silenzio?
restano lunghe trecce* chiuse in urne
di vetro ancora strette da amuleti,
e ombre infinite di piccole scarpe
e di sciarpe debrei: sono reliquie*
dun tempo di saggezza, di sapienza
delluomo che si fa misura darmi,
sono i miti, le nostre metamorfosi.

Sulle distese* dove amore e pianto
marcirono* e pietà, sotto la pioggia,
laggiù batteva un no dentro di noi,
un no alla morte, morta ad Auschwitz,
per non ripetere da quella buca
di cenere, la morte.

Aristotle

Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristotélēs)

Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristotélēs) (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.

Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the Renaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by Newtonian physics. In the biological sciences, some of his observations were confirmed to be accurate only in the nineteenth century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which was incorporated in the late nineteenth century into modern formal logic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on philosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish traditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influence Christian theology, especially Eastern Orthodox theology, and the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. His ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics. All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold"),[1] it is thought that the majority of his writings are now lost and only about one-third of the original works have survived.[2]
