"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.>>
