The words of Christmas, thoughts in verse to capture the spirit of the holidays and put this back in the center dribbling through preparations, confusion, anxiety that these days carry along with the desire to celebrate.
Taken from the book "Talking in verse" by the sociologist and founder of Libreriamo Saro Trova, here are 5 rhymes to pay homage to the people we love most at Christmas and New Year.
The most beautiful verses to dedicate to Christmas
Christmas is the most loved and awaited holiday of the year; the lights, decorations, gifts and being together creates a magical and unique atmosphere. Christmas conveys a palpable sense of hope and joy to be shared with one's family and with the whole of humanity who, on this feast day, find themselves gathered in the sign of peace. To celebrate this special day and make an author's dedication to we love each other, it is possible to use the verses of Umberto Saba taken from In the night of Christmas, ideal for expressing the tranquility and serenity of Christmas evening, perhaps making a dedication during the dinner ; or to the verses of Giuseppe Ungaretti, ideal for communicating a sense of peace and serenity at Christmas; the verses of Jacques Prévert in Christmas of the snow shovelers are excellent to dedicate to those who love snowy landscapes:and finally those of Salvatore Quasimodo taken from Christmas, an excellent way to invite our loved ones to reflect on the profound meaning of this beloved holiday.
An almost perfect serenity calms the burning beats of my heart.
(Umberto Saba, On Christmas Eve, 1921, from Canzoniere)
Here you can feel nothing but good heat
(Giuseppe Ungaretti, Christmas, 1919, from Allegria di naufragi)
But here is the falling snow that falls from above
(Jacques Prévert, Christmas of the snow shovelers, from The Prévert of Prévert. A personal anthology)
Peace in the heart of Christ forever; but there is no peace in the heart of man.
(Salvatore Quasimodo, Christmas, from All poems)
