Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arden Massiter Do you remember, Madonna Laura, how in the golden years a traveler from the orchard-groves of Worcestershire had been calling on your namesake, the dead, the famous, at Vaucluse? And how, in colors stolen from Petrarch´s sonnets, he painted for you the tender green wilderness and, as you told him by and by, strangely stirred your heart, until you could have envied the pale phantom which is haunting those rocks? I remember, at all events. It was early spring in Provence; with me, too, it was spring, and I rejoiced in my youth. Perhaps, on that day of wistful sunshine, I felt more deeply touched by the exquisite wild plants trailing down from the crags, and the anemones sprinkling with light a mossy meadow steeped in dews, than by all Messer Francesco´s embroideries. Yet his verses rang within me, "like fairy bells on the robe of silence"; and where would Vaucluse be for any of us had Petrarch never written?
