Poets to Come

 Enzo Giachino Walt Whitman Poeti venturi Foglie d'erba e prose Enzo Giachino Walt Whitman Torino Einaudi 1950 Transcribed from a digital image of a print original. Italian switched schema declaration to tei_all; moved idno; converted work ID references to tei_all-compliant format checked checked added TEI header and additional tagging; checked transcribed, encoded Poeti venturi Poeti venturi! oratori, cantori, musicisti venturi! Non l'oggi può giustificarmi o spiegare ciò che io sono; Ma voi, novella stirpe originale, atletica, continentale, maggiore di quante si conoscano, Sorgete! spetta a voi giustificarmi. Per conto mio scrivo appena una parola o due, che preludo-nopreludono al futuro, Non faccio che avanzare un istante, e volgermi, e rituffarmi nella tenebra. Io sono colui che va in giro, né mai veramente s'arresta, che lascia cadere su voi, per caso, uno sguardo e subito volge la faccia, A voi commettendo il compito di provarlo e definirlo, Attendendosi le cose piú importanti da voi.
