Salvation Guido Gozzano . With relish I viewed her, Then forever gone away . |
Born in Turin on December 19, 1883, Guido Gozzano was a poet and writer whose literary success came early in life: at the age of 24 he published his first book of poems, La via del rifugio, Turin, 1907, which was followed by I colloqui, Milan, 1911; I tre talismani, Milan, 1914; and – published posthumously – Verso la cuna del mondo, Milan 1917; La principessa si sposa, Milan, 1918; L’altare del passato, Milan 1918; and L’ultima traccia, Milan, 1919. He died of tuberculosis at the early age of 33.
The poem is from the collection I colloqui.
