And now a word about shipping.

... THEM, three frigging years. I almost cried. I would’ve cried, I’m sure, if I’d had been alone with my monitor and my husband hadn’t been sitting there placidly reading his biography of Petrarch whilst I made incoherent gurgling noises of joy over two ink drawings in a Japanese comic. A nemesis of mine in the Bleach fandom once mocked bleachness by saying “oh isn’t that the place where ...

Yes Prime Minister, A Taste for Delicacies, R

... in a congenial mood through the rest of the dinner, going so far as to let their fingers brush when passing him the bottle of wine, or holding the door open for him. They spoke of Cicero and Petrarch, of humanists and scholastics, of cravats versus ties, of giving love to Ann, of cabaret and dance halls, of new worlds and old, of pride and of prejudice, of sense versus sensibility, of Paris and ...

A bit from the Canzoniere

By Petrarch . From an old college course handout. (Guess I was trying to amuse myself in class that day.) Falling from gracious boughs I sweetly call to mind were flowers in a rain upon her bosom, and she was sitting there humble in such glory now covered in a shower of love's blooms: a flower falling on her lap, some on her golden curls, like pearls set into gold they seem to me that ...

Petrarch annoys me

... is a maniac. A poet too, but really mostly a maniac. However, just because he annoys me, that doesn't mean that he can't inspire me. I had already used his morbid fascination for Laura's eyes in a Word of the Day illustration: (for pickle) Plus for various bits and pieces on the theme. And now Seedpod Publishing has just put up my " Poetic Justice " twitter story! Thanks, Petrarch.

Thanksgiving in Italy, Day-Trip to Arezzo, & Orsanmichele Museum

...of runners in Florence’s annual fall marathon by traveling to the nearby town of Arezzo,. The little city, just slightly more than an hour outside Florence, is famous for being the birthplace of both Vasari and Petrarch. Being that it was a Sunday there were very few stores open, but we had a great time strolling around the town and taking pictures. Of all the little towns I’ve visited, Arezzo is ...

To Venice and Back Again

... Back at the bottom of the hill, the Botta foundtain was extaordinary, concrete, islands, and a lone tree which reminded C. of the tree of Gondor. Ten minutes of driving passed us through Arqùa, where Petrarch spent his final years, and then on to an amazing restaurant up in the vineyards. We ate for the rest of the day, first here, then at our host's spacious barn-conversion ouse, and finally at...

просто так

... Shakespeare, little Latin and less Greek; I bite my fingernails like Aristotle; Like Thackeray, I have a snobbish streak. I’m afflicted with the vanity of Byron, I’ve inherited the spitefulness of Pope; Like Petrarch, I’m a sucker for a siren, Like Milton, I’ve a tendency to mope. My spelling is suggestive of a Chaucer; Like Johnson, well, I do not want to die (I also drink my ...
