Considering that grief - in a more and more well-defined, unmistakable way - is part of the physiognomy of our closest partners who have passed away, the author will further continue his dialogue with the colleague he praises. He imagines that he and his friend are again traveling through the same places that gave life to a friendship which was born along the way: from their first experiences as teachers in Modena to psychoanalysis, which was carried out with Dr. Salomon Resnik, their common analyst. By trying to put together the closest geographical-cultural standards - that is, German and French - the author claims that with their micro narratives, plastic arts have enriched religious architecture (especially through capitals, or column reliefs), and that they can provide some excellent indications which can be helpful in clinical observation. In the humble figures which reproduce the habitual practice (echopraxias) of industriousness and restoration that entire generations have tried to hand down, the author maintains that traces of quintessential gestures are to be found both in many of the patients’ dream personifications and in dialect poetry ("mistierò", in Zanzotto). He then imagines that his colleague - with whom he shared many unforgettable conversations - suggests that the echopraxias not be contrasted with the echolalias, so that the conversational composition that characterizes the treatment should not lose the intangible nature of a whisper, which usually develops into speech when it brings relief.
Keywords: Grief, clinical observation, micro narratives, dialect, echopraxias, echolalias.
