La Terra delle Sirene, un'esperienza da vivere
"Mentre ch'io parlo, la nave alata veleggia; ed ecco qual nebbia lontana i lidi delle Sirene sorgere su dal mare... Il vento cessato: nel cielo gran quiete; nel mare in silenzio il moto dell'onda ristagna: certo un demonio perverso ha l'aria calmata, il mar levigato e assonnato... Caduto il vento, dormono i flutti in bonaccia."
