| Question: |
Why did the protagonist receive Campanella's manuscripts through his friends who were warm admirers of the famous monk and political prisoner, and why did he translate some of his sonnets into "Geistliche Kurtzweil"? |
| Answer: |
The protagonist received Campanella's manuscripts through his friends who were warm admirers of the famous monk and political prisoner. He translated some of Campanella's sonnets into "Geistliche Kurtzweil". So, the Descriptio was not only inspired by Campanella but also has undeniable similarities with the Sonnenstaat. However, Gußmann convincingly argues that the Descriptio has significant independent features, particularly in regards to its pedagogical explanations and vision of a new societal order based on the principles of the Gospel. |

Lighted the village street and gilded the vanes on the chimneys,
Matrons and maidens sat in snow-white caps and in kirtles
Scarlet and blue and green, with
distaffs
spinning the golden
Flax for the gossiping looms, whose noisy shuttles within doors
Mingled their sound with the whir of the wheels and the songs of the maidens,
Solemnly down the street came the parish priest, and the children
Paused in their play to kiss the hand he extended to bless them.

Down, as the worm draws in the

And makes it earth, hissed each at other's ear
What shall not be recorded--women they,
Women, or what had been those gracious things,
But now desired the humbling of their best,
Yea, would have helped him to it: and all at once
They hated her, who took no thought of them,
But answered in low voice, her meek head yet
Drooping, 'I pray you of your courtesy,
He being as he is, to let me be.

Love's sun went down without a frown,
For very joy it used to grieve us;
I often think the West is gone,
Ah, cruel Time, to
undeceive
us.

One recalls the broad, solidly-built figure of Rodin with his rugged
features and high, finely
chiselled
forehead, moving slowly among the
white glistening marble busts and statues as a giant in an old legend
moves among the rocks and mountains of his realm, patient, all-enduring,
the man who has mastered life, strong and tempered by the storms of
time.

She does not heed thee, wherefore should she heed,
She knows
Endymion
is not far away;
'Tis I, 'tis I, whose soul is as the reed
Which has no message of its own to play,
So pipes another's bidding, it is I,
Drifting with every wind on the wide sea of misery.

Come hither,
beauteous
boy; for you the Nymphs
Bring baskets, see, with lilies brimmed; for you,
Plucking pale violets and poppy-heads,
Now the fair Naiad, of narcissus flower
And fragrant fennel, doth one posy twine-
With cassia then, and other scented herbs,
Blends them, and sets the tender hyacinth off
With yellow marigold.

Beckon thee to their arcades;

Teach thy feet to feel the ground,
Ere yet arrives the wintry day
When Time thy feet has bound.

Irregular in sight or sound
Did to his mind impart
A kindred impulse, seem'd allied
To his own powers, and justified
The workings of his heart.
