Aal) The Origins, India Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello
Aal) The Origins, India
'O senseless care of the mortals'
Dante
In 1298, Marco Polo rotted in the gaols of Genoa.
He was Venetian seaman and was taken prisoner in the battle of Curzola.
He met the writer Rustichello da Pisa.
They both worked together for a book.
The courses were changing, as Lorenzo Canestro taught us.
The big harbors of India would lay down the law,
The little maritime republics should accept the goods.
Not found colonies. Be a base.
This probably is historic determinism, and no one can stop the march of history, , India was determined to be colonised be it by the west or the east(Russia) , we still have Marco Polo sheep in our northern areas discovered by him, ,
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
