Abraham Lincoln’s letter to his son’s teacher, 1830

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), sedicesimo presidente degli Stati Uniti, è rimasto nella storia perché nel settembre 1862, decretò la liberazione di tutti gli schiavi dai territori degli Stati Confederati d’America, ratificando il XIII emendamento della costituzione americana nel 1865.
Il primo giorno di scuola di suo figlio, Lincoln inviò all'insegnante di suo figlio una lettera.

Caro professore,
mio figlio inizia oggi la scuola: per lui, tutto sarà strano e nuovo per un po’ e desidero che sia trattato con delicatezza. È un’avventura che potrebbe portarlo ad attraversare continenti, un’avventura che, probabilmente, comprenderà guerre, tragedie e dolore. Vivere questa vita richiederà fede, amore e coraggio.
Dovrà imparare, lo so, che non tutti gli uomini sono giusti, che non tutti gli uomini sono sinceri.
Però gli insegni anche che per ogni delinquente, c’è un eroe;

Pedro Salinas / Giovanni Prini | Io di più non posso darti / I cannot give you more..

Io di più non posso darti
Non sono che quello che sono.
Ah come vorrei essere
sabbia, sole, in estate!
Che tu ti distendessi
riposata a riposare.
Che andando via tu mi lasciassi
il tuo corpo, impronta tenera,
tiepida, indimenticabile.

E che con te se ne andasse
sopra di te, il mio bacio lento:
colore,
dalla nuca al tallone,
bruno.

Pablo Neruda | Chiedo silenzio / I ask for silence / Pido silencio

Ora, lasciatemi tranquillo.
Ora, abituatevi senza di me.
Io chiuderò gli occhi

E voglio solo cinque cose,
cinque radici preferite.

Una è l'amore senza fine.

La seconda è vedere l'autunno.
Non posso vivere senza che le foglie
volino e tornino alla terra.

La terza è il grave inverno,
la pioggia che ho amato, la carezza
del fuoco nel freddo silvestre.

Victor Nizovtsev 1965 - Russian Fantasy painter
