Next to the immortality of gen- ius is that which genius may confer upon the object of its love. Laura, while she lived, was simply one of a hundred or a thousand beautiful and gracious INTRODUCTION Italian women ; she bad her loves and aversions, joys and griefs ; she cared dutifully for her household, and embroidered the veil which Petrarch loved ; her memory appeared as fleeting and unsubstantial as that of woven tissue. After five centuries we find that no armor of that iron age was so endu...ring. The kings whom she honored, the popes whom she re- vered are dust, and their memory is dust, but litera- ture is still fragrant with her name. An impres- sion which has endured so long is ineffaceable ; it is an earthly immortality.
" Time is the chariot of all ages to carry men away, and beauty cannot bribe this charioteer. " Thus wrote Petrarch in his Latin essays; but his love had wealth that proved resistless, and for "Laura the chariot stayed.
