Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi), The by Alessandro Manzoni (1785 - 1873) LibriVox The Betrothed (I Promessi Sposi) presents a kaleidoscope of individual stories, which are all tied together by the story of Lucia and Renzo, two young persons of humble origin that are deeply in love with one another. However, despite their great attachment, they are prevented from marrying by the cruel Don Rodrigo, who has himself cast an eye on the beautiful and pious Lucia. Don Rodrigo menaces the priest who was to perform the wedding ceremony, who then refuses to do his duty. Thus threatened and prevented from being married, the couple is separated, and the narration follows each of them on their struggle to unite again.Set in the years 1628-1630, the main story is accompanied by a rich and most accurate description of the historical background -- the warfaring cities, the plague, and the oppressive Spanish rule over Northern Italy during that time. The narration also includes many smaller subplots which allow the reader glimpses into the lives of the other characters i Bend, Break, Burn, and Blow Josiah Dyer & Aaron Guyett This podcast title is based on the Holy Sonnet, "Batter my hear, three-person'd God" by John Donne, which is about God and His Holy Word sanctifying us into the men and leaders He has foreordained.Josiah Dyer and Aaron Guyett discuss today's topics, yesterday's sermons, and life in Christ amongst the communion of saints, while raising children in North Idaho in a covenantal household with a generational vision of dominion in Christ."Holy Sonnets: Batter my heart, three-person'd God"BY JOHN DONNEBatter my heart, three-person'd God, for youAs yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bendYour force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.I, like an usurp'd town to another due,Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,But is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue.Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov'd fain,But am betroth'd unto your enemy Two Cumberland Ballads by John Stagg (1770 - 1823) LibriVox Two narrative ballads, based on local lore, by the Cumberland poet John Stagg.
