Mi chiedi parole. Ma il tempo
precipita come un masso sulla mia anima
che vuole certezze, e più non ha sillabe
da offrire se non quelle silenziose
del sangue legate al tuo nome,
o mia vita, mio amore senza fine.

Angelo Morbelli | Per 80 centesimi! 1895
"Per 80 centesimi!", opera di Angelo Morbelli, uno dei capolavori del Museo Borgogna, venne acquistata nel 1912 alla Mostra d’Arte della campagna irrigua tenutasi a Vercelli, a pochi anni dall'apertura al pubblico del Museo.
Il dipinto, firmato e datato 1895, ha avuto una lunga e tormentata elaborazione, come testimonia la corrispondenza fra l’artista e il collega Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo: iniziato nel 1893, venne ripreso prima di essere esposto nel 1895 alla Biennale di Venezia.

Kajetan Kovič | Istruzioni per dormire
Certo, addormentarsi.
Scacciare la luna
dalla finestra.
Mettere in contumacia
le zanzare.
Stabilire per i gatti
lo spazio notturno.
Zittire i malinconici
cani dei vicini.

Wisława Szymborska | Le donne di Rubens
Ercolesse, fauna femminile,
nude come il fragore di botti.
Fanno il nido in letti calpestati,
nel sonno la bocca si apre al chicchirichì.
Le pupille rovesciate all’indietro
Penetrano dentro le ghiandole da cui i lieviti stillano nel sangue.
Peter Paul Rubens | Frans Snyders - Ceres with two Nymphs, 1624 | Museo Nacional del Prado
