Philosopher

Sergio Umbria

My impression is that literature
Philosophy, history, criticism
Of art, not to mention poetry, all
Manifestations of culture

Written for the Internet will undoubtedly be
More and more entertaining, that is
More superficial and fleeting, like
Everything you become dependent on

The present. If this is so, readers
Of the new generations hardly
They will be able to appreciate everything
What some works are worth and meant

Demanding of thought or creation then
They will seem so remote and eccentric
As disputes are for us
Medieval scholastics on angels
Or the alchemists' treatises on the philosopher's stone
