“A POET'S HOMAGE TO FLORENCE What heart dares to look upon a city so golden and is not moved to write a single line? Whose soul can bear such beauty and not praise it with all its words? May there be poets without a page left, artists with no colour to give a memory of you; and even lovers who refuse to burn? My love, your likeness is like marble that makes the altar of paradise.” — Laura Chouette
A POET'S HOMAGE TO FLORENCE
What heart dares to look upon a city so golden and is not moved to write a single line?
Whose soul can bear such beauty
and not praise it with all its words?
May there be poets without a page left, artists with no colour to give a memory of you; and even lovers who refuse to burn?
My love, your likeness is like marble that makes the altar of paradise.
