Leopardi’s work is proof that it does not take many poetic forms to produce a strong effect of variety. Reading his Canti, the last thing you feel is monotony; and yet, there are always decasyllables and hexasyllables. However, due to the extremely varied arrangement of verses and rhymes, one never knows what comes next. And the brain, challenged and entertained in capturing the order, is satisfied with the meaning that never allows itself to fall into the banal. The problem of form is real and relevant, but it is only justified when there is truly something to say.
