June, by Folgore de San Geminiano

And lemons, citrons, dates, and oranges,
And all the fruits whose savour is most rare,
Shall shine within the shadow of your trees;
And every one shall be a lover there

Another great find of another great obscure poet, obscure to me, at
least.

?

Folgore is definitely obscure. He was an Italian poet from Dante's time,
a knight by profession who of course never published anything, and of
whom only 32 sonnets are known today. IIRC I learned of him while
working on the bio of the other Dante, Rossetti, who translated his
sonnets of the month into English and published them in the 19th
century.

I'm hoping to do a bit about that obscurity by making him this year's calendar poet on PPB. I'd already used two of his sonnets - "January" in
2018 and "February" in 2020 - so this year I started adding his poetry
in March.

One thing I'm doing that's been fun so far is to look for an appropriate medieval illustration for each sonnet.

Thanks again for the back story, GJD.

Hey % , Dannyboy needs your help.

Hey there, I had wondered what happened to you guys, Doctor, % and >> >>>> Daniel.

We are still around.

BTW Rudy Canoza is a fugitive on the run from the Law!

I wouldn't doubt that, that Rudy is a weirdo for damn sure.

Dockery living in squalor with no heat.

Why do you lie and misrepresent so much, Rudy?

Show me one lie or STFU, Dockery.

He just did. You are inspired by lying Idlehands and liar Dr.WTF, Rudy.

Agreed, the Rudy troll has some definite issues to say the least.

Reudy C is part of the Let troll abuse on usenet posters.

He's a troll in a tizzy, nothing new for Usenet.
