Abstract
-
en_US
I ordered this book to help complete our collection of Desbillons' works, even though I believe that this book has little or no relation to Desbillons' many fable publications. This booklet offers some 68 pages filled with Latin senarii, six-foot iambic lines. He wrote this long poem in his 70's. Desbillons was a Jesuit who experienced the suppression of the Society in France in 1762 and then later in Mannheim, where he died. I remember him each time I walk over the memorial of Jesuits in the Jesuitenkirche a few blocks from our Jesuit community in Mannheim. When we have had enough sleep, Desbillons admonishes, we should jump out of bed as though the bed were on fire. I notice his condemnation of "exoticos liquores," including coffee, tea, and chocolate. And is he saying that beer causes Germans to experience apoplexy more than others? And do I read correctly in the ending pages of this poem a prayer for the restitution of the suppressed Society of Jesus?
