Listening to Nino Rota’s scores reminds me of how little it takes to arouse the memory of greatness.

Signor Fellini Imagine us Respectful of your shadows Held in suspension by your cinematic mirror These dreams of yours Realized through creation’s gift Offer such ethereal answers To those of us aroused Beyond the screen Your genius remains omnipresent Extended for touching by hearts and minds Beseeching all to embrace Granting acknowledgment and insight Beyond usual cinema bequests Yes Signor Fellini You brought your vision to our eyes Asking not we accept But merely contemplate the little boy Made man behind the camera For such curiosity You granted patience Never asking we believe your honesty But to consider our own truth Your essence remains present Resounding quietly above life’s noise Easily accessed with but memory Thoughtfully embraced with smiles of trust May the purity of La Dolce Vita’s final scene The echo of silence From distance unamplified Whispering from within Ever haunt those unable to listen Those unwilling to hear
