112 PART Two God, sons of the muses whose sovereign was Apollo, Artemis' brother. Are not Heaven and the gods inventions that come from the desire for paradise, a desire of every human being? Troubadours, knights, and ladies who ascended Montsegur to await the "kiss of God," as the Talmud calls the scythe of death, lived in an immense monastery whose doors were protected by strong castles, whose walls were the rocky walls of the Tabor, whose roof was the blue of the sky, whose cloisters were caves, and whose "Colegiata" was the cathedral at Lombrives. The Church of Amor was religiously the faithful counterpart of the empire of the Occitan Minne, whose leys d'amors, as was said, were brought to the Earth from the sky by a hawk. The Grail in turn fell to the Earthly world when Lucifer was expelled from God's throne. The leys d'amors and the Grail were two symbols of the religious and temporal Minne that Heaven presented as gifts to the Earth. The laws of the Minne established as its fundamental thesis that it should exclude bodily love and matrimony. The Minne is the union of souls and hearts; love is passion that dissipates with sensual pleasure. Catharism demanded chastity as sine qua non for the "perfect" life. The supreme Minne was the marriage of the human soul with God-Spirit. Carnal love carries with it the death of the contemplation of God and fusion with him. Troubadour Guilhem de Montanhagol's poem (which we cited earlier when we tried to explain the Occitan idea of the Minne) could be applied to the Church of Amor in the following terms: Men have to have a pure heart and think only about the supreme Minne. This is in no way is heresy, but rather the sublime virtue that makes humans into the children of God. The troubadours were the legislators of the leys d'amors. The law of the Minne, of the Church of Amor, was the Gospel of the disciple whom the Lord loved: This is my commandment; that ye love one another as I have you loved you. When I go to heaven I will pray the Father, and he shall give another comforter, that he may abide with you forever. . . . JOHN 15:12; 14:16
Two men ride at the head of the army: Abbot Arnaud, who the Pope sent as his legate, and PART THREE Count Simon, whom the knights named As their commander to lead the crusade Horrible pair! Cold and clever, the one, Fast as windswept flames the other, So Simon and Arnaud ride together Associates, in thought and action. Wherever their horses ride, Followed by brash shock troops, Not only the grass of Languedoc is lost, But also the future sowing of joy LENAU, THE ALBIGENSES
