The Hero's Tale
Donald P. Goodman III
A very long poem at 760 (decimal 1080) lines, The
Hero's Tale is a detailed rumination on the journey
of the soul from pagan despair to Christian hope and finally
to the finish, divine love. Deeply symbolic, the poem draws
on the traditional imagery of Western Christendom,
particularly Gothic architecture and the
Psychomachia, along with using a great deal of
other traditional symbolism, especially color, time, and
season. Sadly, much of this imagery is
unknown in our day; the book, therefore, presents extensive
marginal notes identifying the sources of its imagery in
Scripture, in artistic traditions, and so forth, along with
explaining the meaning of the various symbols. Originally
published right here on Goretti
Publications, this short booklet is a great companion to
the poem, particularly those who want to more more about its
deep symbolism. 31 pp., marginal notes.
