Religiously, I consider myself an atheistic theologian. - Menotti Lerro

When I think of poetry, I like to think of it as follows: as the echo of a splash of the sea upon the shadows of those thousand-year-old rocks, that remember – after the continuous modeling of the wind and water – the shadows of the bodies of human beings. A splash capable of emitting a redeeming scent that, once smelt, we cannot live without. (Defining Poetry. From The Poetry of Menotti Lerro, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2011, p. 9)

When men feel happy, they think of men who love; when they feel sad they think and pray to God.

I know that in a pure heart a wicked person does more damage than a hailstorm in a vineyard.
