and thus his own undaunted heart explores
le porte-parole du néant—
chalepòn de tàde zooisin horasthai
fear for the living to see these things...
Et plus tard un Ange, entr'ouvrant les portes,
viendra ranimer
les miroirs ternis et les flammes mortes
to revive matt mirrors and dead fires,
dans le revers silencieux des Faces cachées
of unknown hidden Faces.
The author thanks Virginia Ann Huth.

Chiara Cappello, Costanza Dimitri and Gianvito Mistretta are Monte's students (at the Liceo gimnasio "G. Meli" in Palermo, Sicily). They help him to search for archetipal verses on the "only Book" ever written.
Giuseppe Zimmardi teaches philosophy and is a well-known Italian writer and author of creative collages and videos.
