Micheangelo and the Angels.....

My Angel told me one night that Michelangelo was a writer.  He wrote even though many of us only think of him only as a sculptor and a painter.  This is news to me.  And what I didn't know was that my Angel told me that he got Visions so that he could finish his paintings. And the Angels helped him finish the Sicstine Chapel.  I was told that if anyone found more of his writing they would see that it was very spritiual.  Here is what I found:

Michelangelo's Poetry

Many people don’t realize that beyond being a sculptor and painter Michelangelo was also a poet.  Though Michelangelo took great pride in his artwork he had a much more humble view of his poetry calling it, “something foolish”.  Michelangelo wrote over 300 poems.  Many of his most impressive sonnets were written to his close friend Vittoria Colonna.  Along with his poems of admiration and devotion are poems of a spiritual and mystical nature.

CELESTIAL LOVEby: Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)
No mortal thing enthralled these longing eyes
When perfect peace in thy fair face I found;
But far within, where all is holy ground,
My soul felt Love, her comrade of the skies:
For she was born with God in Paradise;
Nor all the shows of beauty shed around
This fair false world her wings to earth have bound:
Unto the Love of Loves aloft she flies.
Nay, things that suffer death, quench not the fire
Of deathless spirits; nor eternity
Serves sordid Time, that withers all things rare.
Not love but lawless impulse is desire:
That slays the soul; our love makes still more fair
Our friends on earth, fairer in death on high.
Translation of "Celestial Love" by John Addington Symonds (1840-1893).
