It might have been written about Anne Boleyn вЂ“ whom Wyatt may have loved, and who certainly wore Caesar's collar.

The 'Noli me tangere' reference to the Christian ideal whose spirit and language underpins the love-pursuit feels more risky, almost blasphemous, in Wyatt. And the woman isn't merely the inspiration-aspiration of the poem's trajectory, but has a psychology and will and passions of her own, which are part of the poet's difficulty, as well as her attraction ('Yet may I by no meanes my weried mind / Drawe from the Diere'). Which doesn't sound like the same thing at all: it seems to suggest a fraught earthly terrain where love and power and possession interact, rather than an idealising dream. In Petrarch, the white doe wears a collar studded with diamonds and topazes (emblems of steadfastness and chastity), which proclaims her untouchable: 'It has pleased my Caesar to make me free.' The collar in Wyatt's poem declares:ДЄnd wylde for to hold, though I seme tame.' It's partly in the sounds of the language, so dense and intricate in the mouth, and the freer play that English poetry can have in rhyme. But something has happened to the love story in its travels across time and geography. ' The familiar semi-magical Petrarchan markers are in place вЂ“ a forest where the weary lover-hunter will lose his way, the elusive and singular deer who is both prey and fatal enchantress. 'Who so list to hount,' he wrote, 'I knowe where is an hynde. Two hundred years later, Thomas Wyatt used one of the sonnets in the Rime Sparse as the basis for his own poem. Solfo et esca son tutto, et il cor un foco. ' Even readers who need the literal translation can feel something of the poetry's loveliness in Italian, how the vowel-music opens its airy spaces round the lament, makes elegant the complexity of allusion.Д¬he l'amar mi fe' dolce e 'l piange gioco, 'When I remember the time and place where I lost myself, and / the dear knot with which Love with his own hand bound me (he / so made bitterness seem sweet and weeping pleasure), / I am all sulphur and tinder, and my heart is afire. Somehow his idealising language manages to also be gritty and surprising, rich with contradictions.

Petrarch draws on the traditions of the troubadours and Dante's Vita Nuova, but his representation of his convoluted, darkened inner state is distinctively original, and tremendous. The meetings he describes only take place in fantasy, in the writing itself fulfilment is held off all the way up to the end of the 366th and last poem, where the idea of a virgin Laura mingles with praise for the Virgin Mary. Nothing actually happens between the lover and his beloved. In the poems there's no mention of Laura's husband or children. From that moment of encounter in Avignon anyway вЂ“ whether mythic or actual - flowed the inspiration for the Rime Sparse, written over the next quarter of a century: poems dwelling on Petrarch's helpless love for Laura, his dreaming and desires, his excited and jaded senses, his dismay at his own ageing and his grief over Laura's death вЂ“ and on the work of poetry, forging its tribute to her. Some of Petrarch's contemporaries thought she was just a symbol and a pretext, though on the flyleaf of his Virgil he noted not only the date of his original glimpse of her but also that 20 years later he had news of her death in the plague вЂ“ and a passing remark implies she was married and might have been worn out over the years with childbearing. We don't know for sure whether Laura really existed.

A t matins on 6 April 1327, in the church of St Clare in Avignon, Francesco Petrarch may or may not have seen Laura for the first time: her skin 'whiter and colder than snow, not touched by the sun for many years', golden hair, black eyes.
