About this book

The Flame is a book by Gabriele D'Annunzio. An orator, whose voice is described as clear and penetrating, speaks of Autumn and Venice, saying that this pure city of Art aspires to a supreme state of beauty which for her returns annually, as the flowers return to the forest. The text says Æschylus composed more than a hundred tragedies, Sophocles still more.

The text says the artist recognized in her the Dionysian creature, the living material, apt for receiving the rhythms of art, to be modeled according to poetic forms. A character says that, when he calls someone Perdita, he fancies that the one addressed can see his desire approaching.

About the author

Gabriele D'Annunzio

Gabriele D'Annunzio was an Italian poet, novelist, dramatist, and public figure whose prose often joined physical sensation with elaborate memory. Notturno grew from an unusual constraint. After an eye injury in 1916 left him confined to bed, he composed short passages on narrow strips of paper that could be written without normal sight.
