From Homer onward everything got better, except poetry.I'm very grateful to the generous friend who gave me the new English translation of Leopardi's Zibaldone, all lxxxvi + 2502 pages, beautifully printed on India paper. It's a gift I will always cherish.
Tutto si è perfezionato da Omero in poi, ma non la poesia.
