He argues that the twists and turns of life are all due to chance and unforeseen events. The wealthy and powerful ought thus to despise desire and its kingdom and aspire to that kingdom of love in which all the subjects breathe nothing but love and desire nothing but the benefits of love.

L'estate avvampa a Palermo, la terra è arida e i bacini a secco. Dai rubinetti, come sempre in agosto, l'acqua scende appena, sui marciapiedi l'immondizia fermenta rendendo l'aria irrespirabile, e a nulla servono preghiere e invocazioni a santa Rosalia affinché faccia piovere. I poveri si muovono nei bassi come fantasmi nella polvere, i più abbienti hanno già lasciato i quartieri alti per le loro ville al mare.

Sul tavolo verde si impegnano esigui risparmi o ricchi patrimoni nell'irrinunciabile rito collettivo delle feste invernali. Marò Pajno sta attraversando un periodo difficile, e il freddo che sente dentro non è legato solo alla pioggia che affligge senza sosta la città.
