Abstract
Swinging Luigi Pirandello (bio) and Amy Hellman (bio) From a hammock suspended between two boughsof a massive and ancient Saracen olivein the serenity of fading sunlight,some final feeble bird callsand the steadfast and hardy chirpingof crickets through the stubbleresound. Seeingin slow motion,through darkening foliage, my eyes deceive me,as a small and distant starthat I will perhaps never seeagain among so many others, lost, flickers.And while I terrify myselfover plagues, thinking about the ultimate demise, wherethe light of this world—and me—originates from,here, a little leaf falls on my hair;I remove it; another falls, and I bow humbly toward it. [End Page 75] Luigi Pirandello luigi pirandello (1867–1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1934.
