Ovid. Trist. 3,3: parlare di se stesso come se fosse un altro.

Trist. 3.3 is an odd and peculiar poem where the shape of reality intermingles with the imagination. This pattern depends from Ovid's illness, concerning to hold the stylus to write to his wife, but Ovid transforms this faulty communication in a mourning and desolate farewell to this woman, which culminates progressively in the sense of extenuation and in the aphasia of an ending. The result is a poem where the arguments about his death, which waits him abroad, and he gives us, finally, the text of an epitaph on a poet called Naso, who died on his talent.
