Nelle lunghe ore d' inattività e di ieri
che solo certa età può regalare,
Samuele Gulliver tornava coi pensieri
ai tempi in cui correva per il mare
e sorridendo come sa sorridere soltanto
chi non ha più paura del domani,
parlava coi nipoti, che ascoltavano l' incanto
di spiagge e odori, di giganti e nani,
scienziati ed equipaggi e di cavalli saggi
riempiendo il cielo inglese di miraggi...
Ma se i desideri sono solo nostalgia
o malinconia d' innumeri altre vite,
nei vecchi amici che incontrava per la via,
in quelle loro anime smarrite,
sentiva la balbuzie intellettuale e l' afasìa
di chi gli domandava per capire.
Ma confondendo i viaggi con la loro parodia,
i sogni con l' azione del partire,
di tutte le sue vite vagabondate al sole
restavan vuoti gusci di parole...
Poi dopo, ripensando a quell' incedere incalzante
dei viaggi persi nella sua memoria,
intuiva con la mente disattenta del gigante
il senso grossolano della storia
e nelle precisioni antiche del progetto umano
o nel mondo suo illusorio e limitato,
sentiva la crudele solitudine del nano,
sentiva la crudele solitudine del nano
nell' universo quasi esagerato,
due facce di medaglia che gli urlavano in mente:
"da tempo e mare, da tempo e mare,
da tempo e mare, da tempo e mare,
da tempo e mare non s' impara niente..."
