Per apprezzare questo insieme di articoli e saggi, scritti in epoche diverse - ma sempre con uno stile raffinato ed una gentilezza d'altri tempi - bisognerebbe essere molto colti, conoscitori di arti e poesia, appassionati di storia e letteratura. Solo cosi' se ne potrebbero assaporare a fondo le riflessioni, gli aggettivi, gli indovinati accostamenti. Per chi, di cultura mediocre (come il sottoscritto), si voglia arrischiare a leggere queste meditazioni, si rende necessaria una non comune sensibilità e grande curiosità.
In assenza di queste, rimane soltanto il senso della lontananza da una erudizione così profonda. ( )
