Snow 2007rn"There are two foci here. The first is "Non me posso pagar tanto" (Lapa 10), which gets a fresh reading — on the symbolic level — as a poem about self-willed exile. The second sees the common theme of rejection of earthly women in both the profane and the religious poetry of Alfonso as a new ethic (also present in Guiraut Riquier). It is traced in CSM 10, 16, Pr. B, 130 and through the Ave/Eva dichotomy present in CSM 60, 320, 270, 380, etc." |
