Michele Pasin / Quotes

La solitudine non è un albero nella pianura

La stessa proliferazione di chat e Facebook di varia natura afferisce a quest’ansia comunicativa un po’ effimera, capace tuttavia di evitare i buchi solitari che il tempo, pure compresso, talvolta ci riserva. Ecco che mi viene in mente una bella frase di Fernando Pessoa: «La solitudine non è un albero in mezzo alla pianura, dove ci sia solo lui. È la distanza tra la linfa profonda e la corteccia, tra le foglie e la radice».
