Excerpt from A Night in Avignon
A night IN avignon down to the street. Bookshelves and a writing-desk strewn with a lute and writ ings are also on the left; a crimson couch is in the centre; and garlands of myrtle and laurel deck the wine-table.
Gherardo, the monk, is seated by the desk, following with severe looks the steps of petrarca, who is walking feverishly to and fro.
