1846 - The audacity of existence

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

That child had the audacity to exist,
yet at that time
it knew not of it
and it would not understand why
society was letting it on the margin.
When it finally grew up,
it learned that it could not offer to it
something more
because society
was not but on the margin
of the opus.
Then it understood the meaning of audacity.
