The language of suffering and of hope

I would like to tackle an important matter: “the language of suffering and of hope”. everyone of us has experienced suffering that has left a mark on our soul.

We express the burden we carry in our hearts in different ways and poets have been the most touching and incisive testimonies of human suffering ; with their verses they have helped, understood, consoled and accompanied us. In his book «understanding suffering» Vittorino Andreoli, doctor and psychiatrist writes: “Poetry explains nothing, it represents and describes the emotions.

Poets have managed to disguise suffering with beauty, to relief the pain and to stop astonished in front of suffering. Words become images, experience, evocation of ones own sorrow and the sorrow of the world; now, by being distracted, we do not feel it. Poetry gives dignity to sorrow, without it poetry would not exist”.
