This poem is a send up poem written about the insatiable drive that an over zealous optimist has of self, that possesses boundless energy, and enthusiasm for life, without fully realizing the implications and inherent mistakes that can come about. It encapsulates Youthful exuberance in spades, without the experience that sets a calculus on ones takeup of endeavours. This poem was written by myself sometime ago, and has only now had the opportunity to be spoken of.

Как известно, жизнь каждого яркого дарования делится обычно на три периода. Сначала его осыпают насмешками и бранью, всячески угнетают и преследуют. Потом открывается счастливое время признания, за которым следуют дни восторженного поклонения. Наконец, так же неминуемо наступает охлаждение, сопровождающееся нередко резкими выпадами по адресу недавнего любимца и властителя дум. Этой трафаретной схемы избежали немногие даровитые люди, и единственный вариант, вносимый в нее жизнью, сводится к тому, что одни умирают в расцвете славы, а другим суждено ее пережить, изведать к концу жизни всю горечь забвения.

Goliarda Sapienza anche da bambina è una bambina che vive un suo mondo violento, senza nessuna concessione, che piange con lacrime di rabbia, che respira l’aspra bellezza siciliana, che vede i suoi genitori per quello che sono: una madre sindacalista, tenace nel distinguersi da tutte le altre «donnette», un padre siciliano dalla testa ai piedi. E per rimettere ordine tra le bugie dei ricordi, recupera dalla memoria frammenti di sé che a poco a poco si compongono nel percorso di una donna che vuole essere padrona della sua vita e della sua felicità.
