Review: Canzoniere

Canzoniere by Francesco Petrarca
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Ok. I'm throwing in the towel. I will not be able to finish this. The 14th century Italian is too intense, and I'm frankly not much of a poetry guy either way. I got to Page 63, then skipped ahead to find my favorite poem (number CLIX): 

In qual parte del ciel, in quale idea

era l'exempio, onde Natura tolse

quel bel viso leggiadro, in ch'ella volse

mostrar qua giú quanto lassú potea?
