TALK 03 | The hail storm and the song of the cicada | TGD vol. 03

The hail storm and the cicada are two figures in contradiction that share a short existence: the first one comes suddenly, violent destroyer of every sight of future. The second one is the voice of a meaningless and lazy being, wreckage of memories from a happy time. Both are metaphors of southern Italy, a place of contrasts where beauty and ugliness mix together. We can turn the tragedy of contradiction into beauty, without fearing conflicts but learning to recall them.
