In the poetry by Eugenio Montale[edit]
Eugenio Montale remembered his wife's brother in the poem Your brother died young, thirteenth text of the first book of Xenia :
| “Your brother died young; you were
the ruffled girl who looks at me 'posing' in the oval of a portrait. He wrote unpublished music, unheard of, now buried in a trunk or go to the màcero. Perhaps someone unwittingly reinvents them, if what is written is written. I loved him without having known him. Apart from you, no one remembered it. I didn't do research: now it's useless. After you I remained the only one for whom he existed. But it is possible, you know, to love a shadow, shadows ourselves. " |
