"The content of lyric poetry, Hegel says, is the poet himself; he gives voice to his inner world so as to stir in his audience the feelings, the states of mind he experiences. And even if the poet treats 'objective' themes, external to his own life, 'the great lyric poet will very quickly move away from them and end up drawing the portrait of himself.' . . . the notion of lyricism is not limited to a branch of literature (lyric poetry) but, rather, designates a certain way of being, and, from this standpoint, a lyric poet is only the most exemplary incarnation of man dazzled by his own soul and by the desire to make it heard. I have long seen youth as the lyrical age--that is, the age when the individual, focused almost exclusively on himself, is unable to see, to comprehend, to judge clearly the world around him. If we start with that hypothesis (necessarily schematic, but which, as a schema, I find accurate), then to pass from immaturity to maturity is to move beyond the lyrical attitude. "
