Hermes Woodbury Commons



"Although the world is off big and beautiful and alive and is not in us off the slope. If you get taken off the , is not removed nor possible to remove the desired . not be turned off in young the ardor which leads them to procure a life, and despise the nullity and the monotony . But removed objects which formerly had addressed this fire, you see what they must lead and take them effectively.
The ardor of youth, quite natural, universal, very important, once came largely in the consideration of statesmen. This matter lively and high weight, now no longer enters into the scale of the politicians and rulers, but is considered not to exist precisely . Meanwhile, she exists and operates without any direction, without providence, without going to the fruit (though all the work because institutions tend to destroy it, nature is not destroyed, and nature in a fresh and high force before it is in that age) and where once was a material used ordered and to large public utilities, now this matter so natural and unquenchable become alien and harmful to the machine, runs and runs like a snake devouring a dully electrical fire, which can not be used for good, nor soothe or prevent iscoppi not in time in earthquakes etc. .
Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone , 1820
