<<In PETRARCH's Rime sparse, LAURA 
                  often appears as cruel & poisonous: 
she is "a wild creature" who "crouches and flees"
and "destroys" him,
      who has a "TIGER's or she-bear's HEART" (152.1).>>

"I SHAKSPER"
"EKPHRASIS": A presentation to the mind's eye.

<<PETRARCH's poems, because of their sculpted quality and
 because of  PETRARCH's use of EKPHRASIS --for instance in
 sonnet 78 where LAURA appears as SIMON's painting-
-which introduces the gaze into writing, are made visible
 to the reader's eyes. Winn thus writes:
 
"PETRARCH's poetry, however expressive and sonorous, also employs
techniques learned from the recondite virtuosity of the Middle Ages,
.
including ANAGRAMMATIC DISTORTIONS of LAURA's name.>>

   Oxford and VIRGINIA PADOANA, the Venetian Courtesan
http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~ahnelson/ITALY/Virginia.html

Oxford's association with Venetian courtesan VIRGINIA PADOANA is
recorded in a letter written by Sir Stephen Powle to John Chamberlain,
dated September 21,1587, from VENICE, now Bodleian Library,

Noventa PADOVANA was PADUA's main fluvial port: here boats would stop
and people and goods would reach PADUA by coaches and carts. In 1209 the
10-km long Piovego Canal was excavated, from Noventa PADOVANA to PADUA.

The canal would convey the course of the Bacchiglione into the Brenta,
connecting PADUA to the Naviglio del Brenta and, therefore, to VENICE.

His reference to the "common ferry" by which
Portia entrusts Balthasar with a message shows that
he knew the fastest way to get from Venice to
Padua. The mysterious "Tranect" may refer
to the apparatus that was used to transfer boats
from the river Brenta to the lagoon of Venice.

        PETRARCH & BEMO both settled in PADUA.
