If I were a betting man, I would say that this translation by Jessie Lemont of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem “Pieta” was inspired by The Da Vinci Codeby Dan Brown.
Normally, all references to Michelangelo’s statue would be that the Virgin Mary was holding her son, after his crucifixion.
But, the idea that it could be Mary Magdelene, instead, holding her platonic lover’s body, seems to be hinted at by how young she appears.
Was Michelangelo trying to tell us something, too?
I am an Astrologer who also writes about world events. My first eBook "At This Point in Time" is available through most on-line book stores. I have now serialized my second book "The Star of Bethlehem" here. And I am experimenting with birth and death charts. If you wish to contact me, or request a birth chart, send an email to cdsmiller17@gmail.com. (And, in case you are also interested, I have an extensive list of celebrity birth and death details if you wish to 'confirm' what you suspect may be a past-life experience of yours.) Bless.
