Dialogue: The Unarmed Prophet and the Armed World
A conversation between Girolamo Savonarola and Niccolò Machiavelli
Florence. Night. The Piazza della Signoria is empty, though the stones still remember fire. The ghost of Girolamo Savonarola stands near the place where he was hanged and burned. Niccolò Machiavelli enters, older now, carrying a manuscript beneath his arm.
SAVONAROLA:
You return to the place of ashes, Messer Niccolò.
MACHIAVELLI:
Florence has many places of ashes, Fra Girolamo. Yours is only the most famous.
SAVONAROLA:
And you have made use of it.
MACHIAVELLI:
I made use of what happened. That is not the same as rejoicing in it.
SAVONAROLA:
You wrote that I was ruined because I was unarmed.
MACHIAVELLI:
Were you not?
SAVONAROLA:
I preached repentance. I called a city to righteousness. I turned hearts toward God.
MACHIAVELLI:
For a time.
SAVONAROLA:
Truth is not false because men grow tired of it.Read the full Dialogue at PeaceGrooves.
