The Sonnets Of Tommaso Campanella - The Book Of Nature.

Topics: classic

Il mondo il libro.     The world's the book where the eternal Sense             Wrote his own thoughts; the living temple where,             Painting his very self, with figures fair             He filled the whole immense circumference.     Here then should each man read, and gazing find             Both how to live and govern, and beware             Of godlessness; and, seeing God all-where,             Be bold to grasp the universal mind.     But we tied down to books and temples dead,             Copied with countless errors from the life,--             These nobler than that school sublime we call.     O may our senseless souls at length be led             To truth by pain, grief, anguish, trouble, strife!             Turn we to read the one original!
