Radegund and/or Venantius Fortunatus
Sep. 16th, 2006 04:46 pmLooking up sources for "The Wander" this afternoon, I found an amazing poem: "The Fall of Thuringia". I don't think it will be useful for my essay right now, but… I wish it were. The book listed it as by one Venantius Fortunatus, but more research has indicated that it could well be by (Saint) Radegund, who was a friend of Fortunatus, or perhaps was a collaboration between the two of them. Anyway, I can't find a text of it on the internets (ah, Natty, how you have corrupted me!), so I'm going to type up the one from my book. It's probably at least somewhat illegal, so this should be locked, I guess.
( Long, but worth it )
The more I think about, this is kind of a weird poem: half lament and half love-letter. And just like my "Wanderer" the Christianity is rather vague. Hmmm. Maybe I can use it after all.
