The Sonnets Of Tommaso Campanella - The Future.

Topics: classic

Veggo in candida robba.     Clothed in white robes I see the Holy Sire             Descend to hold his court amid the band             Of shining saints and elders: at his hand             The white immortal Lamb commands their choir.     John ends his long lament for torments dire,             Now Judah's lion rises to expand             The fatal book, and the first broken band             Sends the white courier forth to work God's ire.     The first fair spirits raimented in white             Go out to meet him who on his white cloud             Comes heralded by horsemen white as snow.     Ye black-stoled folk, be dumb, who hate the loud             Blare of God's lifted angel-trumpets! Lo,             The pure white dove puts the black crows to flight!
