Commentary

Eugenio Montale (1896-1981), "La poesia," lines 13-15, The Collected Poems of Eugenio Montale, 1925-1977, tr. William Arrowsmith (New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2012), pp. 332-333 (from Satura):
Con orrore
la poesia rifiuta
le glosse degli scoliasti.

Poetry
rejects with horror
the glosses of commentators.
Hat tip: Ian Jackson.
