What is the punishment of Tantalus ? A very intimate light that warms my night
What is suicide ? Slowly descending with the leisure of going up
What is Love ? A very quiet street that you only cross once
What is really hungry ? A silver ink pot filled with blood
What is nobility ? The wind coming from the woods
What is courage ? A church inside a nut
What is a head bump ? An expansion on the back of the head
What is reason ? A letter from far away
What is the night ? A very ancient text sang by a multitude of frogs
What is fate ? Love to its entire length
What is childhood ? An island that is fast emerging
What is painting ? An immense Turkish bath
What is the monarchy ? A bag of stones asking to be carried
What are we doing ? The day
What do we expect ? Your hope
Who is your mother ? A beggar who waits until it’s dark to laugh
What are we ? The eyes of a bird who died travelling
Who was Mario Cesariny ? A distracted oracle who never told the truth
Where did he live ? In the lap of a statue made of flour
Why did he live ? Because there were those who wanted to kill him
Mario Cesariny
