One poet who wrote in this language described "soul of antiquity
One poet who wrote in this language described "soul of antiquity/Gone gray with age and rage" and wondered "How lonely what is left to you must be!" Another poet who wrote in this language asked "do you remember/the moments in your mortal life/when beauty still shone in your sidelong, laughing eyes" in one poem and pondered "it was always dear to me, this solitary hill" in another.  Another poet wrote about "the day the sun's rays turned white" as the day he fell in love and wrote about "a rain of bitter tears fall[ing] from my face" because she never reciprocated. "To Sylvia," and "The Infinite" were written in this language, which was used to write another author's "Guide to the Holy Land," "On (*) Famous Men," a verse epic about Scipio Africanus, and hymns to Laura in his Canzoniere. For 10 points, identify this language that names a particular type of sonnet coined by the author Petrarch.
