Maurice ScÃ¨ve's poetic collection DÃ©lie was modeled after this poet's magnum opus. In one of his lyrics, he imagines being buried in the central location, to which his beloved returns and finds him "already dust amid the stones." That poem is addressed to "clear, fresh, and sweet waters." Another poem concludes that "a wound is not healed by the loosening of the bow." He ended one collection with a twelve-stanza poem that addresses the Virgin at the start of eleven of them; that collection's third poem shows the sun darknening for its Maker on a Good Friday and takes one title from the first poem, which addresses "you who hear in scattered rhymes." For 10 points, name this fourteenth-century Italian poet who wrote Rime sparse or Canzoniere, which includes his namesake sonnets about Laura.
