Read "Sonnet 292" By Petrach.

"The eyes I spoke of once in words that burn, the arms and hands and feet and lovely face that took me from myself for such a space of time and marked me out from other men; the waving hair of unmixed gold that shone The smile thst flashed with the angelic rays
That used to make this earth a paradise
Are now a little dust, all feeling gone;
And yet I live, grief and disdain to me,
Left where the light I cherished never shows
In fragile bark on tempestuous sea.
Here let my loving song come to a close
The vein on my accustomed art is dry
And this my lyre. turned at last to tears"
