Tipo Casa Pound... caruccio.

Ezra Pound includes Santayana among his many cultural references in The Cantos, notably in "Canto LXXXI" and "Canto XCV". Santayana is usually considered an American writer, although he declined to become an American citizen, resided in Fascist Italy for decades, and said that he was most comfortable, intellectually and aesthetically, at Oxford University. Although an atheist, Santayana considered himself an "aesthetic Catholic" and spent the last decade of his life in Rome under the care of Catholic nuns. In 1941, he entered a hospital and convent run by the Little Company of Mary (also known as the Blue Nuns) on the Celian Hill at 6 Via Santo Stefano Rotondo in Roma, where he was cared for by the Irish sisters until his death in September 1952. Upon his death, he did not want to be buried in consecrated land, which made his burial problematic in Italy. Finally, the Spanish consulate in Rome agreed that he be buried in the Pantheon of the Obra Pía Española, in the Campo Verano cemetery in Rome.

... e poi nel 1974, "Help Me" dei Dik Dik.

Niente di meglio in questi giorni che è iniziata la "Guerra dei Palloni Spia"...

Amo questo pezzo e la sua interprete. Ci vedo una allusione anche alle automutilazioni che tante ragazzine si infliggono perché non si accettano, e non si sentono amate per ciò che sono. Sempre attuale.
