![]() ![]() ![]() Various emotions, delicate and quick-changing as the shadows of clouds on a sunny day of wind, chased one another continually over her lips and eyes.” And her face was ever changing, working too it expressed, almost at the same time, irony, dreaminess, and passion. About her whole being, so full of life and beauty, there was a peculiarly bewitching mixture of slyness and carelessness, of artificiality and simplicity, of composure and frolicsomeness about everything she did or said, about every action of hers, there clung a delicate, fine charm, in which an individual power was manifest at work. It amused her to arouse their hopes and then their fears, to turn them round her finger (she used to call it knocking their heads together), while they never dreamed of offering resistance and eagerly submitted to her. All the men who visited the house were crazy over her, and she kept them all in leading-strings at her feet. “There is a sweetness in being the sole source, the autocratic and irresponsible cause of the greatest joy and profoundest pain to another, and I was like wax in Zinaïda's hands though, indeed, I was not the only one in love with her. ![]() ![]() Please tell me I’m not crazy for taking half the book just to figure out which sister was which.

Now, as she returns to Progress with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, Tory is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child.

Through these commentaries the poet comes to see romantic love as the first step in a spiritual journey that leads to salvation and the capacity for divine love. Linked with Dante's verse are commentaries on the individual poems, their form and meaning as well as the events and feelings from which they originate. In a sequence of thirty-one poems, the author recounts his love of Beatrice from his first sight of her (when he was nine and she eight), through unrequited love and chance encounters, to his profound grief sixteen years later at her sudden and unexpected death. Dante's libello, or little book, is most obviously a book about love. "La Vita Nuova" (1292-94) has many aspects. ![]() |
