The fame of his vast journeys appears to have made a much greater impression on the laity of his native territory than on his Franciscan brethren. The latter were about to bury him - without delay or ceremony, but the gastald or chief magistrate of the city interfered and appointed a public funeral; rumours of his wondrous travels and of posthumous miracles were diffused, and excitement spread like wildfire over Friuli and Carniola; the ceremony had to be deferred more than once, and at last took place in presence of the patriarch of Aquilei ...

The poem described the carnal passion of "an eternal nihilistic spirit" to a Georgian girl Tamara.

Dream Interpretation Fame

A dream of fame maybe wish-fulfilment, a reflection of some public act, or may reflect the fact that more people recognize your waking behaviour than you realize. Dreaming of famous people or celebrities is quite common for adolescents, and it reflects a teen's desire to be a part of talented and admired people. Celebrity dreams show the strong urge to find a place within a group that is emotionally secure and creatively satisfying.
