“Poetry is the form of a culture that goes through a truly incorruptible spirit; without that condition, it cannot give us the fruit of peace. This cultural function gives us a definition: culture is wisdom that raises the intuitions of life to a system. Its language is poetry; its fruit, peace. “
Fernando Rielo, UNESCO Headquarters, 1985
