Beers & Books CXXXII – Antonio Tabucchi

Like a blazing comet,
I've traversed infinite nights,
interstellar spaces of the imagination,
voluptuousness and fear.
I've been a man, a woman, an old person,
a little girl,
I've been the crowds on the grand boulevards
of the capital cities of the West,
I've been the serene Buddha of the East, whose
calm and wisdom we envy.
I've known honour and dishonour,
enthusiasm and exhaustion. ...
I've been the sun and the moon, and everything
because life is not enough.
*
I live quietly at home among family and friends.

Antonio Tabucchi (24 September 1943 – 25 March 2012)
