Capes, Bernard

Italy -- History -- 476-1492 -- Fiction

God rest thee, Carlo!  Peace to thy faithful, passionate heart.

An imperishable love, whose fruits, descended from that ancient stock,
we eat to-day.

But the body of the Fool, flung into a pit, was the carrion which first
enriched its roots.
