Guiding Question:
How did
Renaissance
writers rely on the
past to develop
new ideas?
He wrote love poems in Italian to Laura, his name for
a woman whom he had seen once and loved dearly.
Laura eventually died from the Black Death, or
plague. Like Shakespeare, Petrarch wrote sonnets.
"She ruled in beauty o'er [over] this heart of mine,
A noble lady in a humble home,
And now her time for heavenly
bliss [happiness] has come,
'Tis I am mortal proved, and she divine.
The soul that all its blessings must resign,
And love whose light no more on earth finds room,
Might rend [tear, rip] the rocks with pity for their doom,
Yet none their sorrows can in words enshrine [honor];
They weep within my heart; and ears are deaf
Save [except for] mine alone, and I am crushed with care,
And naught [nothing] remains to me
save [except] mournful breath.
Assuredly [certainly] but dust and shade we are,
Assuredly desire is blind and brief,
Assuredly its hope but ends in death."
