It took them fifteen chapters, but finally Edward and Bella...what? Go read the 15th chapter and you'll know!
- An Italian Winter, by Raum
Summary: "There was a reason behind Edward's rebellious period – a reason that still holds true and brought him to Italy. His existence has been predicated on revenge for decades, to the point that forgiveness seems impossible. When Edward meets Bella, only a winter separates him from his last human prey and his own destruction." AU-Vampires.

Chiare, Fresche, Dolci Acque ("Clear, Sweet, Fresh Water") by
Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch), 1304-1374
Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch), 1304-1374

| Francesco and Laura, XV century miniature |
"Clear, sweet fresh water
where she, the only one who seemed
woman to me, rested her beautiful limbs:
gentle branch where it pleased her
(with sighs, I remember it)
to make a pillar for her lovely flank:
grass and flowers which her dress
lightly covered,
as it did the angelic breast:
serene, and sacred air,
where Love pierced my heart with eyes of beauty:
listen together
to my last sad words."
