Knells boundless, Campanile's Grecian scribes
Toll somber civic bells to public ears
To Logos' cornucopia -- mindful tribes;
By Letters, Cicero's eased public fears;
CHIME CHIMing CHIME chime SOMBER CHIMES CHIME TIMING
SPEEL SOMBER CHIMING SWAY in Timing CHIMING...
Refine Po River, Tiber's dusky shores;
Stride Petriarch's white mule to heaven's doors;
Pace healing Renaissance, Petrarchan Laurels,
Mankind's sound Petriarch spires Plato's morals;
When man in haste does plunge...for arms of Venus
Who strides, then, the white mule, aspiring nimbus?
Petrarchan Solemn logos1, laurels, Letters,
Effective language -- power's unlocked fetters;
Reflections: Campanile's cornucopia
Does TOLL of Plato, Petrarch's panacea
-- Humanity bears purest quilled affection
To yield effective grace despite affliction.
Surmounting dismal Gothic-Roman ruins;
CHIME! Brilliant Laurels, Plato, graced Hellene;
Transcend dark plagues, infernal dying "pagans";
Profound revival -- Letters -- Greek Pirene2
Ionian traces, cosmic shrines, Athene --
Prime fields and order -- civil Byzantine
CHIME! MORAL philologos Constantine,
Conceptual psyche -- mindful Florentine.
To mediating culture -- Avignon,
KNELL SENATOR COLONNA -- St. Paul's zone,
One dazzling diadem of laurels, Petrarch;
RING DOVES -- St. Francis' Blesséd Matriarch...
Platonic Essence thriving Black Plague doom --
Divisions bold: "Benevolence to man";
Nigh carrion, ...famine...massive noxious fume...
Petrarchan logos: Plato-saga span!
CHIME, CAMPANILE CHIMES CHIME SOMBER, ...CHIMING
SPEEL SOMBER CHIMING SWAY IN TIMING CHIMING...
RING Avignon! -- Humanity endure!
Aspire Assisi's graceful baptistries
Rome's tribulations: Renaissance chimes cure!
Where scandal duplicates Black Death's Mare Seas,
RESOUND your CHIME beyond airs' wounded EGOS
DO CHIME Petrarchan LAURELS, Grecian LOGOS;
Reflective philologos, Petrarch heals
By reason's cornucopia -- Plato's Mind;
UBIQUITOUSLY..., CAMPANILE PEELS
o'er urban dark demensia moving blind,
Reverting Rhetoric Quadrivium's scribes,
Moot dukes extending sound to heal their tribes...
1Logos: from the Greek for speech -- reason that in ancient Greek philosophy is the controlling principle of the Universe.
2Pirene: The culture of classical Greece extended from the Mediterranean to Asia Minor through the campaigns of Alexander the Great. The ruins of the temple of Athene have existed since the 4th Century B.C.E. in the Ionian settlement of Turkey.
