Dark roads of the ghetto, but bright ways of work!

The Best Poem Of Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Aaa) The Origins, Crusades.

In the medieval towns there was an increase in people
But if one was in search of a doctor
One had to go to the ghetto and Europe envied Juda.
Dark roads of the ghetto, but bright ways of work!
Then sometimes Israel pushes a villain out of the way and elects a Queen as nice as Esther.
The Pope was in the troubles with the kings
So he sent some of them to the Crusades.
The knives made love with the Berber Princesses on the way to Aleppo,
They ate hot azime bread and drank mint tea under the palms,
They came from the fogs of Normandie and envied the sun of Acre.
The Crusaders wanted to become the favourite sons of God
The Eternal Father did not make differences.

An essential Latin presence on this site, Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello is kind of a neo erudite :) and an interesting poet after all!

He is an Italian poet. Some great English names have influence on him prevalently through some Italian names of the 20th century. He is not insensitive to English romanticism, but at the end goes back to half of the 19th century. At that point he merges into fiction, becomes a neo naturalist and so stays. With one eye, and something more, turned to America.
