Re: kafka and rilke

Referring to the Marriage of Figaro, Scottie writes:
<< [. . .] what the three of them (& presumably their composer) refer to as
his 'song': Voi che sapete. >>

In fairness, "Voi, Che Sapete" is -- in Le Nozze Di Figaro -- a canzone,
while I was talking about a relatively subtle distinction in an English
word. I don't have the Italian to discuss the counterpart there; but I have
seen Italian books filled with sonnets and canzones, so I presume the word
has a different weight, however untranslatable.
