Abstract: The poem "The Origin of Poetry," translated from the Sicilian of Giovanni Meli, explores the relationship between Truth, Philosophy, and Fiction. It depicts Truth as vulnerable and mistreated by people, seeking healing from Philosophy, who aids her compassionately. To protect herself from hostility, Truth conceals herself with the help of Fiction, using masks and veils as a defense. The poem suggests that Fairytale, Fiction, and Philosophy collectively serve to guard and preserve Truth in the challenges of life. [Extracted from the article]
