Each Canto is written as a series of poems in the Shinru style, each Shinru functions as a stanza condensing the narrative and creating a structure for the abridged text. These are first drafts and hopefully I'll be writing Arguments to go with each Canto and put these together as works which would acompany the Divine Comedy CD's.
Below are individual Shinru from various Cantos I don't want to give away too much here.
From Canto #1
The woods woke me up
A history of fainting
I was middle aged
The woods woke me up
A history of fainting
I was middle aged
From Canto #3
We walked into the
Dark Terror and flies and saw
the mob Hell refused
From Canto #4
The sighs of children
sinless souls packed tight
none were born again
The sighs of children
sinless souls packed tight
none were born again
From Canto #5
Overcome by grief
and feeling giddy, I faint,
The human storm cries.
Overcome by grief
and feeling giddy, I faint,
The human storm cries.
From Canto #7
We follow the shore
The stars say it's midnight here
A tall black tower
We follow the shore
The stars say it's midnight here
A tall black tower
