I’m reading again Ernst Kantorowicz biography about Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen and I happened in one of my favourite parts, the one dedicated of course to Pier delle Vigne.

This is so huge (to me) because the author here is describing Frederick and Pier basically as the “You Don`t Know Him Like I Do 😤 “ trope to each other. 

(But also: the image of a ruler and of his closest collaborator that works so good together that their plural ideas became easily one, that after eight centuries the outcomes of their partnership is still considered indivisible, you can’t understand when one finish and the other one starts etc etc).

The poetry that inspired Jeff Buckley

Voices as incredible as the one belonging to Jeff Buckley don’t come around too often. Unfortunately, after releasing one record, Grace, Buckley, with all his potential, was taken away too soon. At the age of 30, the singer went for a swim from which he never returned, drowning in the Mississippi River.

Yet, his legacy lives on as one of the most influential artists to emerge from the 1990s, and his music is widely celebrated today for its emotional and lyrical complexity. Not only did Buckley possess an otherworldly voice, but he was also an extremely gifted guitar player and writer, with all his talents combining to create a masterful body of work.

Even when Buckley was covering other artists’ songs, such as ‘Lilac Wine’, ‘The Other Woman’ and ‘Hallelujah’, he imbued the pieces with his own distinctive style. Yet, his penchant for covers wasn’t a reflection of an aversion to writing. Buckley knew how to pen a stunningly poetic track, with songs like ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’ and ‘Morning Theft’ suggesting that even if Buckley didn’t have the vocal pipes he was gifted with, he’d get by just fine as a writer.

Buckley took inspiration from many different writers and musicians when writing his own songs. Musically, Buckley looked back to folk artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and, of course, his own father, Tim Buckley, from whom he was estranged. Elsewhere, he loved the work of Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the rich tones of Nina Simone, and Led Zeppelin, calling Robert Plant “my man”.

However, when it came to his literary inspirations, Buckley had an extensive book collection, which he no doubt looked to for ideas when writing his lyrics. He owned a lot of poetry, with Rainer Maria Rilke proving to be a particular favourite. Not only did Buckley own Dunio Elegies, Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations Poems from the Book of Hours, but he also owned his epistolary collection Letters to a Young Poet.

Buckley was also a fan of the classic American poet Walt Whitman, owning Leaves of Grass and From the Soil. Of course, no poetry collection is complete without copies of Arthur Rimbaud’s A Season in Hell and Illuminations, alongside some Charles Baudelaire – Buckley-owned Paris Spleen. The singer also owned the Selected Poems of confessional poet Anne Sexton and modernist writer T.S Eliot.

Nel lato sinistro del capitello, il consigliere e giurista di Federico II, Pier delle Vigne, mentre nel lato destro abbiamo il secondo giurista più vicino all'imperatore, Taddeo da Sessa, e nel centro, un anziano dalla lunga barba ed il volto malinconico o dolente, identificabile come il pontefice Onorio III, magister regis dell'infante Federico, oppure il terzo più importante consigliere di quest'ultimo, il gran maestro teutonico Ermanno de Salza.

"Federico García Lorca tradotto in alcuni dialetti italiani". Saggio di Lorenzo Spurio

La grande notorietà di Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) e della sua opera nel nostro Paese è testimoniata non solo da una prolifica attività critica e da continue riedizioni – anche commentate – della sua opera, ma anche da alcuni esperimenti di lettura di diverso tipo, che meritano adeguato rispetto e approfondimento. Mi riferisco – in relazione a quel suo carattere di poeta terrigno eppure…

"Io son colui che tenni ambo le chiavi 

del cor di Federigo, e che le volsi, 

serrando e diserrando, sì soavi,                         

che dal secreto suo quasi ogn’uom tolsi"
