  Pier Paolo Pasolini Fragment to Death I come from you and go to you, A feeling born with the light, with the heat which aroused the first cry as joy I, baptized and known as Pier Paolo, at the beginning of a restless epic: I walked into the light of history but was always heroic under your dominion: my being you my innermost thought. In your path of light, in the horrific uncertainties of your flame, the course of the world, of history: and in your light it truly existed, it lost life so as to win it back:…
