COME AGAIN, SWEET LOVE! ENJOY THE FRESHNESS OF ENGLISH RENAISSANCE POETRY TODAY.

The magic of poetry and music trascends time!. Although language and music evolve, the spirit of the words and the vibrations of the sound remain and communicate the aliveness of the period when they were written or composed. Try reading about what Shakespeare's English was like, read one of his poems, for example sonnet 147, entitled, My love is as a fever, or read John Donne's poetry.
To prove that the power of poetry and music are immortal, why don't you enjoy this video, where Sting sings a song composed in the Renaissance and allow yourself to travel to those times with the beauty, simplicity and passion of the song Come again, composed by John Dowland?
