The fable instead inspires the poetry of
Vittorio Butera (1877-1955). His fables,
however, are very particular, and have very
little to do with those of Trilussa, for
example, to whom he has been compared
nevertheless. The poet from Calabria does
not share the same skeptical vision of life.
And when he takes aim against the baseness
of the human spirit (hypocrisy, intrigues,
vanity, ambition, deceits), he does not limit
himself to denigrating it by turning it into
corrosive, shouted satire, but repre¬sents it
and clearly postulates his faith in the
possibility of overcoming it.
