Hermann Hesse / Daniel Gerhartz | Eleanor, 1898

Le sere d'autunno mi ricordano te
I boschi giacciono bui, il giorno si scolora
ai bordi dei colli in rosse aureole.
In un casolare vicino piange un bimbo.


Il vento se ne va a passi tardi
attraverso i tronchi a raccogliere le ultime foglie.
Poi sale, abituata ormai da lungo ai torbidi sguardi,
l'estranea solitaria falce di luna
con la sua mezza luce da terre sconosciute.

William Blake | Lo scrittore romantico

  • Il Cristianesimo è Arte e non soldi. I Soldi sono la sua Maledizione.
  • Reprimono il desiderio solo quelli che lo hanno tanto debole da poterlo reprimere.
  • È più facile perdonare un nemico che un amico.
  • La via dell'eccesso conduce al palazzo della saggezza.
  • Nessun uccello vola troppo in alto, se vola con le proprie ali.
  • Chi manca di coraggio è esuberante d'astuzia.
  • Una verità detta con cattiva intenzione batte tutte le bugie che si possono inventare.
  • Nel tempo della semina impara, in quello del raccolto insegna, d'inverno godi.

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres | Gli aforismi

I capolavori non sono fatti per sbalordire. Sono fatti per persuadere, per convincere, per entrare in noi attraverso i pori.
In arte si arriva a un risultato notevole solo piangendo. Chi non soffre non crede.
Studiate il bello in ginocchio.
Chi non vorrà attingere ad altra intelligenza che alla sua, si troverà ben presto ridotto alla più miserabile di tutte le imitazioni: a quella delle sue stesse opere.

Leonardo da Vinci | Differenza infra poesia e pittura

Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /18


La pittura immediate ti si rappresenta con quella dimostrazione per la quale il suo fattore l'ha generata, e dà quel piacere al senso massimo, qual dare possa alcuna cosa creata dalla natura.
Ed in questo caso il poeta, che manda le medesime cose al comun senso per la via dell'udito, minor senso, non dà all'occhio altro piacere che se uno sentisse raccontare una cosa.
Or vedi che differenza è dall'udir raccontare una cosa che dia piacere all'occhio con lunghezza di tempo, o vederla con quella prestezza che si vedono le cose naturali.
