The Periodic Table by Primo Levi

today i know it is a hopeless task to try and dress a man in words, make him live again on the printed page, especially a man like sandro. he was not the sort of person you can tell stories about, nor to whom one erects monuments — he who laughed at all monuments. he lived completely in his deeds, and when they were over nothing of him remains - nothing but words, precisely.
