Elie has been a follower of God ever since he was brought into this world‚ and truthfully I cannot imagine him ever giving up hope in his God.

Early poets reached for the sun and stars to describe their beloveds‚ while novelists have struggled to convey their ’wretched ordinariness’. At 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.
