Aae) The Origins, Bg Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Aae) The Origins, Bg

Rating: 2.8


'King of awful majesty,
You who saves the worthy ones free,
Save me, source of pity'
Wrath Day

Until 1263 Alexander Nevskij applied himself to a strange task.
What? He was the interpreter of the Russian soul,
The brave leader who destroied the Teutonic knives.
Well, in Novgorod and Surdalar he was tax collector for the Golden Horde.
Ivan Asen II had just been the emperor of Bulgaria that got to Belgrade and Albania,
Pride of Onelia Avelar who studied the origin of the surnames so well.
The Vikings did not put the Russians to a lot of troubles,
But the Tartars of the Golden Horde had an organized capital in Sarai on the Lower Volga;
Batu, grandson of Gengis Khan, founded that kingdom in South East Russian land.
For two hundred years from its woods Moscow looked at South,
South that is not the same any more without its Golden Horde.

:) A big smile, thank you very much, Paolo, for following the origins in an interesting East European historical mix. To give an expression of a remarkable erudition and knowledge is not easy, to make it readable, as well, but you did it. Onelia Avelar is not a historical personage, but :) you can transform the historical facts as you wish - we live in an epoch of big experiments with forms and substances. So is the art - experiment with forms and subjects.
