Frasi di Alejandra Pizarnik
2/10
You've built your home, you've fledged your birds, you've beaten the wind with your bones, you've finished alone what no one began.

But, who is Death? A figure that harrows and wastes wherever and however it pleases. This is also a possible description of the Countess Bathory. Never did anyone wish so hard not to grow old; I mean, to die. That is why, perhaps, she acted and played the role of Death. Because, how can Death possibly die?
4/10
Because no one has more thirst for earth, for blood and for ferocious sexuality than the creatures who inhabit cold mirrors.

I don't know about birds nor do I know the history of fire. But I believe that my solitude should have wings.

An unchangeable colour rules over the melancholic: his dwelling is a space the colour of mourning. Nothing happens in it. No one intrudes. It is a bare stage where the inert I is assisted by the I suffering from that inertia. The latter wishes to free the former, but all efforts fail, as Theseus would have failed had he been not only himself but also the Minotaur; to kill him then, he would have had to kill himself.
7/10
Perché nessuno ha più sete di terra, di sangue e di feroce sessualità delle creature che abitano i freddi specchi.

Ma chi è la Morte? Una figura che strazia e devasta dove e come vuole. Questa è anche una possibile descrizione della Contessa Bathory. Nessuno ha mai desiderato così tanto di non invecchiare; voglio dire, di morire. Ecco perché, forse, ha recitato e interpretato il ruolo della Morte. Perché, come può la Morte morire?
