dipende

Literary Histories [Le storie letterarie] I have always been of the opinion that Shakespeare was a cooperative. That for his jests he always used charlatans like himself in genius but careless of everything else except money. Survival can't swallow too much. At times it digests a platoon, at others it distills a few syllables and throws a monument in the wastebasket. It reproduces like mushrooms, you might find a whole lot of them at once, and then you are empty-handed for a whole day, or a year or a century. It depends. Eugenio Montale (trans G. Singh)
