Incipit of the Gospel of Luke (Quoniam quidem multi...), fol. 188r from the Book of Kells, created in an Irish or Scottish monastery ca. 800. Now in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin.
I sit by the window, my legs tucked beneath me, my gaze fixed on the moon as I slowly smoke my one cigarette of the week. I have an unhealthy tendency toward obsession. Iām aware of it. Itās a tendency I indulge, sometimes, when Iām in the mood; most of the time, however, I try to keep it in check.
I hate losing control.
The moon is just a small waning crescentānothing emotional or poeticāand yet thereās something about the night that draws me in. When I breathe, the air filling my lungs tastes of summer, of muggy heat, and of endless evenings. It smells of childhood memories, vacations I never took, and possibilities.
The sound of a car door slamming down on the street pulls me out of my thoughts for a moment. I sigh, my eyes closed, rubbing the small scar on my wrist.
The air is pleasant, but melancholic. It doesnāt inspire my art⦠not like autumn evenings do, with their broken promises and dead leaves.
I know I sound strange. Iāve always known it.
Iāve learned to flaunt my differenceāto protect myself, and also to elevate myself, in some way, as great poets do.
If the atmosphere is melancholic, itās because it seems to call out to a life that doesnāt belong to me. It invites me to wear short dresses and run barefoot on the sand at sunset, or dance all night with a cocktail in my hand. It speaks of pleasures that, like summer, last a moment and then fade away.
I could chase after them too, lose myself in them, but then Iād become just like everyone else, and my life has never been an ordinary one.
Unhappiness belongs to great soulsāor so some people say.
Maybe Iām just tired of fighting out there and have decided to shut myself away in here. I live in my head, the only place where I have absolute control over what happens.
Sometimes, I lose it even there.
I exhale a little puff of smoke and watch it dissolve into the air. If I talked to a psychologist, sheād probably tell me itās because of the traumas Iāve suffered. Sheād have a field day with me.
For my part, I prefer to believe itās a choice. I like to think of myself as a character from Dostoevsky, who invents stories in her head to live at least in some way, or a damned artist, or an idle noblewoman overcome by existential malaise.
My paintings are dark, with a disturbing sensuality; fear and excitement make the heart beat with the same intensity, so much so that sometimes the line between them blurs.
My photographs often depict the transience of life. Memento mori is my motto.
You live more intensely when you remember that every moment could be your last.
I find beauty where few others see it. Iām drawn to what is fragile and fleeting. Perhaps because I saw death in my motherās eyes when I was a child, and Iāve never been able to forget it.

This is the beginning of Chapter 1 of my novel Solitudine sotto la pelle (Solitude beneath the skin). It's in Italian, my native language, but I'm thinking of publishing it in English to broaden my public. What do you think?
Tutto ĆØ compiuto. ŠŃе ŃŠ“елано. Alles ist erledigt. Tout est fini. Itās all over.
In russo ho sognato, in tedesco ho pensato, in francese ho conosciuto il carcere, in inglese ho compreso quanto il mondo fosse grande, in italiano ho combattuto e amato.
E in italiano morirò.
Forse tra cinque minuti, forse tra cinque ore, comunque non domani.

Pierfrancesco De Robertis
Vita Cartesii est simplicissima...
La stupidità non è il mio forte. Ho visto molti individui; ho visitato alcune nazioni; ho partecipato a diverse imprese senza esserne convinto; ho mangiato quasi tutti i giorni; ho avvicinato delle donne. Ricordo ora alcune centinaia di volti, due o tre grandi spettacoli e forse il contenuto di una ventina di libri. Di tutto questo non ho conservato né il meglio né il peggio: quel che è potuto rimanere è rimasto.
Paul ValƩry, Monsieur Teste

206. Il bar sotto il mare
Bombe intelligenti al mondo ce ne sono, ma i proiettili sono tutti ignoranti, e di sicuro questo non faceva eccezione. Se avesse avuto un briciolo di senno avrebbe rallentato la sua corsa, o sarebbe tornato al punto di partenza, dentro la canna che lāaveva esploso. Invece si lancio` in picchiata, frantumo` lāaria, attraverso` la carne della donna e si schianto` nel muro di cinta della scuola, dopo aver sfiorato il ginocchio di un bambino. Un colpo forte, sordo, che arresto` tutti i giochi e lascio` uno sbuffo di fumo e uno di stupore. Cosāe` stato?, ci si chiese in quel momento di sospensione tra commedia e tragedia, e solo quando la maestra cadde, si comprese: uno sparo!, e si fuggı` a casaccio urlando per mettersi al sicuro. Nel trambusto il corpo fu abbandonato a seĀ“ e assunse la sghembaggine fissa della morte: un pupazzo buttato per terra da un bambino. Le gambe larghe in modo innaturale, una chiazza di sangue sulla maglia e gli occhi bianchi, via lāiride via lāanima.
Strana sorte morire a ricreazione.
- Stefano Tofani, La bestia che cercate, Guanda
