the night fades away<br />

just a kiss and then<br />

the day turns dark<br />

(oscar luparia)<br />

But it is the borderline between light and shadow the place where art, where<br />

poetry is born: A., a little girl who is in the Italian middle school, knows it<br />

well, when she writes:<br />

chiaroscuro<br />

it’s neither light nor shadow<br />

maybe it’s autumn<br />

The western dichotomy light-shadow represents the complementary or<br />

alternating values of an evolution: the seed buried in the darkness will give<br />

life to a tree, which is nourished by light to nourish other beings and to form<br />

other seeds.<br />

Light is rational knowledge, which becomes ours only in the darkness of<br />

perception.<br />

full moon –<br />

white flowers grow<br />

on dry branches<br />

(antonella Filippi)
