'sole' in italian
means sun (m,s)
and alone (f,p)

their sun but inside

we found no-one

"Then it goes, all goes, and I'm far again, with a far story again, I wait for me afar for my story to begin, to end, and again this voice cannot be mine. that's where I'd go, if I could go, that's who I'd be, if I could be". Samuel Beckett
...Visions of a medusa with tentacles around her mouth...watching from her eyes you can see her..then don't be afraid..cross the threshold of her mouth..come into the deep
"Je suis ce malheureux comparable aux miroirs
Qui peuvent réfléchir mais ne peuvent pas voir
Comme eux mon oeil est vide et comme eux habité
De l'absence de toi qui fait sa cécité"
Louis Aragon
