From Domna to Trobaritz: Lessons from Medieval Poets to a Modern Day Poet
Submitted by Kim Grace McCabe on Tue, 08/12/2014 - 00:00
Statement of intent: Using themes, forms, and functions of trobaritz works. How are our writings shaped by medieval thinkers and creators? What can we learn from these motifs?
I have traveled this land over here/
From Carcassonne out to Beziers/
And what I’ve seen will inspire you, dear/
To become of the world a great seer/
You will find me as a land unconquered/
Come with me and we shall make it clear/
It is you who arouses a word/
My beauty glows outward, draws you in/
We are magnets and together spin/
