*a) Julius Caesar Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello
*a) Julius Caesar
I,1
Enter ELPIDIUS MARULLUS tribun of the people and PORTIA, Marcus Brutus's wife, over the stage
PORTIA: Ave, I am saying hello to you. I am seeing the person I saw years ago.
MARULLUS: Ave, I see the girl at that time. I see you are the girl you were.
PORTIA: Have you regrets? Have you feelings of guilty?
MARULLUS: I shall manage everything at the right moment.
PORTIA: Somebody thinks he himself will manage it. There are dark presages in the air.
MARULLUS: I have given up the idea of bringing in bills. I attend to mysteries with more pleasure.
PORTIA: So you have changed your mind. Once you thought you should have changed Rome.
MARULLUS: Really?
PORTIA: It is change time. Only the dictator does not realize it. He has not made up his mind, is alone.
MARULLUS: He is a man. His days can end.
PORTIA: Roman woman must abide the republic.
MARULLUS: I would like to hold fast to my girl.
Sometimes poetic expression fails to give a counter view which has to answered in great detail. Most of the times eloquence to an expression is added by just giving the first view and then putting down the other, which need personfication. In scripture this first and second view is between the sinners and the belivers. This may not be the case with independent verse though. The beauty of word remains and so is expression. For dialogue a much broader canvas is needed with intended outcome that shall be in consonace with accepted soceital behavior or as the expectations go on. Or as the theme dictates. This is a great series.
A small significant act in poetry, I learned how to write dialogue poetically. A new genre.10
