#and yes that roman numeral is in fact 126. he wrote 366 poems about her. a portion of that was after her death

i love reading about the random historical figures and poets and such that you have beef with. i'm sitting here eating popcorn while cheering you on korka <3

Really, all you need to know is that I'm right. Idk if you've learnt about Petrarca (I think in English he's called Petrarch?) but this fucking guy, listen.

So this guy, supposedly, saw a woman once (1) in church and became SO obsessed with her, he wrote a whole book of poetry about her. And, okay, that's not so bad, writing about unrequited love, what sort of writer hasn't? But there's just something so. Creepy about the way he describes Laura. And, well. CXXVI. where he watched her bathe and basically invented the "would you be sad if i died"🧍‍♀️
