This collection of poetry, Ozii Camerti, was written by Guido Mazzoni around 1887, during his most creative and prolific period. The poems are in ballad form, and are lyrical reflections on human existence and its place in the universe. The pages shown above are enhanced by the corrections in Mazzoni's hand. The clipping appearing here was found in the Mazzoni Pamphlet Collection; it is a translation of one of these ballads, "Well I know the stars..." A note on the clipping gives the date as 1929. Ozii Camerti can be translated roughly as "Indolent moments from Camerino," the town where Mazzoni was staying when he composed these poems.
