The Light beyond

e la luce deve arrivare ad ognuno
(SGF I 685)

                
                
                

Quivi, dietro grate ingiuste e irremovibili, pallidi visi, occhi cerchiati di rinunzie distruggitrici scrutano la sana vita degli altri e la luce, la perduta luce del mondo polveroso e rivoltolato (SGF I 682)

                
                
                
                
                
                

Oh!, lungo il cammino delle generazioni, la luce!.... che recede, recede.... opaca.... dell’immutato divenire. (RR I 604)
