Una greggia era ammassata sul cocuzzolo d'un poggio nudo, appesa tristamente come a una mammella arida, smorticcia come il mattaione ove qua e là lustravano gli ammassi di testàcei e le làmine di talco. Su una pendice del monte di Caporciano, arrossato dai filoni di gabbro che serrano la vena del rame, Montecatini di Val di Cecina mostrò il torrione quadrangolare dei Belforti. Un astore cinerino come le crete roteò nell'aria incandescente. L'esecrazione d'Isaìa divorò la terra etrusca. Tutto nel crudele riverbero delle biancane moriva. Dagli squarci, dalle crepe, dalle rosure, dalle frane, dai botri, dall'immoto travaglio della sterilità esalava la doglia non mitigabile. E la lamentazione del vento cominciò, d'altura in altura, ad elevarsi. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)
