Quote #4
[...] and since then I have loved
this bank of grass and find peace nowhere else (64-65)
Some people have stuffed animals as their comfort object. Petrarch has a grassy bank. We're not here to judge. However, we will point out that Petrarch is particularly attached to places in poetry. Laura's presence is imprinted in them, so it brings the poet comfort when he can't have his girl.
