1911
F. T. Marinetti
1911
Translated by Decio Cinti
A poetic work written in the early 20th century. This innovative poem embodies the principles of Futurism, a movement that celebrated speed, technology, and the dynamic nature of modern life. The text is a passionate invocation to the sea, portraying it as a divine entity and a source of inspiration and liberation for the poetic voice. The beginning of the poem immerses the reader in a hypnotic dialogue with the sea, where the speaker expresses disbelief in scientific truths and celebrates the overwhelming force and beauty of the ocean. Through vivid imagery and a rhythmic style, the speaker seeks to reconcile their existence with the relentless energy of the sea, viewing it as both a source of anguish and ecstasy. The speaker's longing for connection and transcendence is palpable as they grapple with their identity and emotions, setting a profound and evocative tone for the unfolding exploration of dreams and desires that follows.
