“Lefschetz made a brief trip to Rome, and I asked Severi what he thought of Lefschetz's work. 'È bravo,' Severi told me, meaning more or less 'he is talented.' The word 'bravo,' as far as I can tell, has no equivalent in other languages. 'He is no Poincaré,' Severi added. Poincaré was an eagle, 'un'aquila'—and at this, he raised his hand high. Lefschetz was a sparrow, 'un passero,' and he lowered his hand halfway. But Lefschetz was talented, 'è bravo però, è bravo.'”
