Christmas Question 9
Christmas in Poetry - Spanish poet Lope Felix de Vega Carpio (1562-1635) is considered by many to be among the finest Spanish playwrights and was, in fact, the first Spaniard to make a living out of that profession. Vega was a poet as well; among his poetic works is a touching lullaby for the Christ child sung by the Virgin Mary, entitled “Cantarcillo de la Virgen” (“Little Canticle of the Virgin”). In this poem, Mary entreats the branches of the palm trees of Bethlehem to still their rustling, so that her child may sleep peacefully. Following the death of his wife in 1613, Vega entered a second profession; which was it?
The correct answer is 'Priest'
Ironically, although Vega’s numerous amorous escapades would have made his own life story the subject of an entertaining play, he had always been attracted to the priesthood. Taking vows did not in any way curb his love life, however, and he carried on many affairs with both married and unmarried women while, at the same time, imposing strict penances upon himself, which included regular self-flagellation “for the good of his soul”.
Vega’s “Cantarcillo de la Virgen” has been translated into English and set to music by the German composers Hugo Wolf (as “Die ihr schwebet”) and Johannes Brahms (as “Geistliches Wiegenlied”, or "Spiritual Lullabye").
