"A daughter of the Huguenots" About the French Protestants during the Renessaince of the late seventeenth century. I am loving it. Each chapter starts with a little piece of poetry or prose and I am going to post one on here for you today.
Well first then of Duke Ercole; a man
Cold in his manners, and reserved and silent,
And yet magnificent in all his ways;
Not hospitable unto new ideas,
But from state policy and certain reasons
Concerning the investiture of the duchy,
A partisan of Rome, and consequently
Intolerant of all the new opinions . . .
How could the daughter of a King of France
Wed such a duke?
-Longfellow, "Michael Angelo."
Currently listening to Masquerade. Love that song:)
How about a picture to finish this post off nicely?
