I like my love poems a little more, oh, I don't know--like what you wrote about the fisher boy (sorry to harp on that but I've also been listening to that song you posted of the same name...)
It's a very good song. And I'm glad you like the poem.
(and why must you suddenly read lots of Petrarch?)
(Because I needed a random line about sleeplessness that could plausibly pop into the head of my narrator in the Venetian timeline: he would not have the same stock of quotations as an English-speaker, but even allowing for fudged history, I wanted someone that even an indifferent student would have found it impossible to avoid. I still ended up going with a line from Catullus, but in the process I discovered that I like Petrarch. I need a forty-hour day.)
