BALLATA: 7. HE REVEALS HIS INCREASING LOVE FOR MANDETTA, by GUIDO CAVALCANTI Poet's Biography First Line: Being in thought of love, I chanced to see Last Line: My heart is dead in me.' Subject(s): Love | |||
Being in thought of love, I chanced to see Two youthful damozels. One sang: "Our life inhales All love continually.' Their aspect was so utterly serene, So courteous, of such quiet nobleness, That I said to them: "Yours, I may well ween, 'Tis of all virtue to unlock the place. Ah! damozels, do not account him base Whom thus his wound subdues: Since I was at Thoulouse, My heart is dead in me.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD SONNET: TO DANTE by GUIDO CAVALCANTI |
