Quirinus Kuhlmann (February 25, 1651 – October 4, 1689) was a German Baroque poet and mystic. Burned at the stake.In 1671 2.Kuhmann wrote a series of Christian sonnets to depict the union of a human soul with Jesus Christ ,using sixteenth and seventeen syllables, of monosyllabic stem words, in individual notes or measures by separated by Virgules(a slash once used as a full stop,or comma), having an idiosyncratic sonnet rhyme scheme, and a complete permutation phrase, (Welchelsatz) in its first twelve lines

HEAVENLY KISSES XL1sonnet 41

HEAVENLY KISSES a sonnet 
                                (a changing life)

At  NIGHT,   fog, frost, Torment&Worry
Next DAY,  snow, lightning,  Fire &Distress
From GRIEF,  angst, sorrow, Disgrace,Ridicule
With JOY, ease, wins, Constant Day
The MOON, smoke, flame,  Ox and Wagon
Love's LIGHT, floods,field,  Knowledge is Sustenanced
Our OBJECTIVE human,travail, Faith and God
PURPOSED, prize,promise, &Thankfulness
What is GOOD,right,positive,do Mention     
CULTIVATE,earth,    floods,    to AVOID
Sans COURAGE, praise, soul, be APART    
With  FEAR, lies,    strife, soon Reigns 

Everything changes:Everyone loves:We, all ,incline to hate;
We ,who meditate these Words,understand the human state
