Gore socks
There are many ways to spark a truly Saturnian mood. One of them is to equip yourself with atmospheric accessories. Great would be, for example, socks with golas, which perfectly relate to the natural world. In the same climate are made sea socks with mermaids. During Saturdays, nature plays an extremely important role, so any reference to the world of plants or animals is welcome. Poetry can also be helpful in experiencing the amazing atmosphere of the Kupala night. In this regard, Jan Kochanowski and his Pieśń świętojańska o Sobótce have no equal. The cycle of twelve songs perfectly shows what the summer solstice is and all the traditions associated with it. In addition to the first title song, there are twelve more songs in the cycle. Each of them is a statement of another Virgin. Some of the girls talk about love, while others focus on traditions or the image of the countryside. The remarkable value of the songs, among other things, is that they are excellent both as parts and as autonomous works. Reading the poetry of John of Chernolassus is an excellent way to enjoy a Saturday evening.
What are the Virgins' stories about?
Even today, we could learn a lot from the poetic Virgins. Some talk about the fact that love must be fought for, while others remind us that work is only fruitful if a person can sometimes rest from it. Virgo II presents one of the most effective ways to rest. According to the girl, the prescription for worries is dancing. It is in it that she finds oblivion. Dancing allows to get rid of negative emotions, and on top of that it brings people together. This is a reference to one of the Saturday traditions, which was dancing together. They often lasted until the early morning. In shared entertainment, people forgot about problems and began to see the world in brighter colors. The words of Miss XII are sure to soften the hearts of any lover of the countryside. The Arcadian myth has been known for centuries, and one of its realizations is Kochanowski's work. The song of Miss XII is an adaptation of a Horatian epic, and life in the countryside provides a truly idyllic setting. The countryside is depicted as a safe haven that protects from the dangers of life. It is a land where people have lived for generations. As a result, they trust each other and have no fear of enemies. There is no shortage of food, and each new day surprises with its beauty. The songs of Jan Kochanowski are perfect reading for long summer evenings. Thanks to the words of the poet, you can fall in love with the beauty of the world around us anew.
