The city of Dite

La domenica del blog - 3


Pare sia Pasqua... Torno con la mente ad una poesia scolastica: George Herbert & the shape.Lord, Who createdst man in wealth and store,        Though foolishly he lost the same,              Decaying more and more,                      Till he became                        Most poore:                        With Thee                      O let me rise,              As larks, harmoniously,        And sing this day Thy victories:Then shall the fall further the flight in me.My tender age in sorrow did beginne;  And still with sicknesses and shame        Thou didst so punish sinne,                  That I became                   Most thinne.                    With Thee                Let me combine,      And feel this day Thy victorie;    For, if I imp my wing on Thine,Affliction shall advance the flight in me.George Herbert [1633]
