The Consolation of Philosophy, Book 3: True and False Happiness Book III, no. 81, Song V: riassunto
Book 3: True and False Happiness Book III, no. 81, Song V di 82 · 1 min per leggere: song
In Song V, the speaker contrasts the varied movements and lowered heads of animals with the upright human posture and its gaze toward heaven. This comparison becomes a moral appeal: people must raise their souls as well as their faces, rather than let their minds remain attached to earth.
Cosa succede
- The speaker describes creatures crawling along the ground, flying through the air, and walking through meadows and woods.
- Despite their different shapes, animals share a lowered head that the speaker links to dulled souls and senses.
- Human beings alone stand upright and raise their faces toward the sky.
- The speaker urges those looking heavenward to direct their souls there too, rather than keep their minds bound to earth.
