Qui parlano di "hermeticism"
Sě, č quello. Da non confondere con hermetism.
Due definizioni da Wikipedia:
QUOTE
Hermetism
Hermetism refers to a Greco-Egyptian pagan mystical sect, based on the
Hermetic Corpus, also known as the Hermetica, a group of tracts
composed in Hellenic Alexandria in the first century C.E. To be
distinguished from its Renaissance and modern offshots, generally
known as Hermeticism. 
According to literary scholar Harold Bloom, "The Hermetists were
Platonists who had absorbed the allegorical techniques of Alexandrian
Jewry, and who developed the Jewish speculation concerning the first
Adam, the Anthropos or Primal Man, called the Adam Kadmon in Kabbalah,
and 'a mortal god' by the Hermetists...." 
The Hermetic Corpus became available to the West in 1460, when the
documents salvaged from Constantinople surfaced in Florence. Their
translation in 1471, by Marsilio Ficino, set off the great explosion
of Renaissance Hermeticism as embodied in John Dee, Giordano Bruno,
Tommaso Campanella, Johannes Trithemius, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa,
Robert Fludd, and Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim Paracelsus. 
Hermeticism
Hermeticism can refer to one of two things: 
The study and practice of occult philosophy and magic, of a type
associated with writings attributed to the god Hermes Trismegistus,
"Thrice-Greatest Hermes," a syncretistic deity who combines aspects of
the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Hermeticism is also
associated with alchemy. These beliefs were influential in European
occult lore, especially from the Renaissance forward, when they were
revived by people like Giordano Bruno and Marsilio Ficino. Hermetic
magic underwent a 19th century revival in Western Europe, where it was
practiced by people such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and
Eliphas Lévi. 
From the arcane language associated with these beliefs, comes the
second meaning: 
The deliberate use of obscure, convoluted, or esoteric imagery in
various arts.

QUOTE
Quasimodo's work falls roughly into two periods, divided by World War
II. Beginning with the nostalgic poems about Sicily in Acque e terre,
the first, or "hermetic," period is characterized by metaphysical
content and a recondite style, as exemplified by the verse in Ňboe
sommerso (Sunken Oboe, 1932), Erate e Apollion (1936), and Poesie
(1938). "Hermeticism" was a name applied to a 20th-century school of
Italian poets headed by Quasimodo, Giuseppe Ungaretti, and Eugenio
Montale. The verse of these poets originated in the French symbolist
school of Mallarmé and Valéry. Typical of hermetic poetry is a
deliberate rarefication of poetic language; this is the result of the
poet's attempt to verbalize a personal impression that seems to
transcend common experience, in a language that coneys it with the
maximum fidelity and immediacy. The hermetic reject rhetoric and the
stylistic mechanics of traditional poetry, adopting instead occult
symbolism and a vocabulary that is extremely personal and
idiosyncratic.

Dario, sei un disastro. Ti avevo ben suggerito di rivolgerti a un
madrelingua inglese per le tue traduzioni. Già hai difficoltà con
l'italiano, figuriamoci...:-)
