Italian term or phrase: slittano su un piano di
Contesto:

La lirica oraziana è inoltre scritta per la lettura. Essa descrive spesso situazioni immaginarie o almeno fortemente stilizzate, e aspira a un grado assai elevato di sofisticazione letteraria. Gli stessi riferimenti a situazioni reali (per esempio le descrizioni di tempo e di luogo), che nella lirica greca sono letterali, nel senso che fanno riferimento alle situazioni cultuali o simposiali nelle quali il carme era effettivamente eseguito, slittano in Orazio su un piano di significati e di opposizioni simboliche che spinge in secondo piano ogni riferimento ad una coerenza spaziotemporale, la "verisimiglianza" reale. Significativo è il caso della famosa ode a Taliarco (Orazio, Odi: 1, 9), che si apre con un silenzioso paesaggio invernale, che imita Alceo, e termina con un quadro primaverile di vita cittadina.

Molte Grazie,

Barbara
