CALVINO-ITALO-INVISiBLE CITIES Cities & the sky 4



This poem mention about Perinthia city.  Position of the city is as same as the position of some stars on the sky.  All details, but especially order of the city were very important for the astronomers (who are the establishers of this city.) I said the order was very important, because in their belief every single star will be effected every living things in Perinthia city. So their goal was to do everything like perfect.  They were thinking that reflect of the harmony of the firmament, nature’s reason and the gods benevolence would shape the inhabitants destinies.  But things didn’t happen how they were thinking. Because they didn’t think about something. Even though all the details were well done, diversity of people would not let them to receive same reaction. It is kind of same situation like our real life. We try to be or try to make things perfect but even though we get so closer to it every single time we fail.
