“Helen is not of Troy and not of Sparta. She does not live in the towers of burning Ilium, or the ruined palaces of once-great Greece– No, she is found between the folds of history over and over and over again. Blamed and de-famed and cruelly scorned, She is every woman who bears the burden of the faults of men and gods. She is all of us– History repeating itself, maybe to punish maybe to teach maybe to remind But it does not matter– Whatever might be the ill-taught lesson, the shouts of the imprisoned and deprived are forever lost in the clanging of weapons, false pride and forgotten women. Sing, o goddess, the rage of Helen –which launched not a thousand ships but was stifled and silenced by a war fought wrongly in her honour.”— sing, o goddess, the rage of helen | by prithvi. p

“Il rimpianto di ciò che fu, e l'ansia di ciò che non è ancora, e il sottile tormento del dubbio, e l'ebrezza folle del sogno, tutte le cose belle e perfide di cui noi poeti si vive e ci s'avvelena.”— Amalia Guglielminetti, in una lettera a Guido Gozzano (Torino, 13 aprile 1907)
