Love hath so long possessed me for his own And made his lordship so familiar. — Dante Alighieri

In that book which is

My memory...

On the first page

That is the chapter when

I first met you

Appear the words...

Here begins a new life.

She is the sum of nature's universe.

To her perfection all of beauty tends.

In his arms, my lady lay asleep, wrapped in a veil.

He woke her then and trembling and obedient

She ate that burning heart out of his hand;

Weeping I saw him then depart from me.
