Wisława Szymborska: Falling from the Sky / Cadenti dal cielo

The magic goes, although the great forces

stay in their place. On August nights

you don’t know if the falling thing is a star,

nor if it is precisely that that has to fall.

Vincent van Gogh | The starry night, 1888

I forti non sono amati da tutti.

Sono scomodi.

Sono poco manipolabili.

conoscono i loro diritti

e non sono disposti a rinunciarci.
