I saw his defects
and he saw mine,
but due to a mysterious
transmutation
produced by the feeling of love,
they appeared to us both
not only forgivable
but also lovable...
*****
In memory of
ALBERTO MORAVIA

- Comment from author about the poem: Thirty years ago the great Italian writer, ALBERTO MORAVIA, died. Just finished reading one of his novels, “il Disprezzo”(Contempt); highly recommended to me by my mom before she passed. I’m sharing a famous phrase contained in that novel.
