Giovanni Bazzi ("Il Sodoma"). "San Sebastian" (1525)
"San Sebastiano de Sodoma"
Tennessee Williams
.
How did Saint Sebastian die?
Arrows piereced his throat and thigh
which only knew, before that time,
the dolors of a concubine.
Near above him, hardly over,
hovered hid gold martyr's crown.
Even Mary from Her tower
of heaven leaned a little down
and as She leaned, She raised a corner
of a cloud through which to spy.
Sweetly troubled Mary murmured
as She watched the arrows fly.
And as the cup that was profaned
gave up its sweet, intemperate wine,
all the golden bells of heaven
praised an emperor's concubine.
Mary, leaning from her tower
of heaven, dropped a tiny flower
but, privately, she must have wondered
if it were indeed wise to
let this boy in Paradise?

εντάξει είπαμε!η εκμετάλλευση του ονόματος του Αγίου Σεβαστιανού έχει παραπάει πια,οι ιστορίες αυτές προέκυψαν καθαρά από τον προκλητικό τρόπο απεικόνησης της Δύσης και όχι από την πραγματικότητα
