Quote

Brushing off old dust of God's shadow, I'm going to sing blind, sweet love sonnets to beautiful Laura completely to my heart's hot content, you see.

Greeting

I freeze and burn. Love is bitter and sweet.
I cannot forget April 6th — the day I first saw Laura.
I find no peace, yet I am not at war.

Roll Call

I carry three hundred and sixty-six songs in my heart.
Every dip of the pen, time flows and I race toward death. Still I write.
As the father of humanism, I answer.

Deploy

Forward in the name of Laura!
Raise the blade of the sonnet and break through!
Burn the darkness with the flame of love!

Victory

My sighs were storms, my tears were floods — and yet I won.
I can see Laura smiling.
Time is prison and ecstasy. Today is a day of ecstasy.

Draw

I hope and I fear; I burn and I freeze. It is not yet over.
The song for Laura is only half sung.
I shall grind fresh ink for the next sonnet.

Defeat

I am seized by rapture and by anguish.
It hurts like losing Laura on April 6th — but the song goes on.
Even at the moment of the pen's dip, time flows. I will not stop.

Strike

Burn with the flame of the sonnet!
Sweep them away with the torrent of love!
Pierce the heart with a single line!
