"EXPERIENCE all silver'd with age,"."Sonnet" by Eliza Day

Yes, Dante's Beatrice, Petrarca's & Schiller's separate Lauras. Re: The kerfuffle - as in the poem I wrote (in a recent Lol poem) in which you prompted the line “Who so list to hount” from the word "hount" (7/21/2024) (https://www.learner.org/wp-content/u...t-to-hount.pdf I sometimes take a moment to ponder the eternal aspects of unrequited love, etc., and have written a few other poems regarding the themę, having, as most, not been immune.
Sonnet - Telling experience to take a hike I guess: "If virtue our bliss would insure,
She points to a state beyond death."... perhaps unto eternal life :)

Lollolol-"Hount" was a mistake, the word I meant was "haunt" but when I saw the good use you made of it I kept quiet. One should not publish ones frailties too much, else one gets canceled(literally) as happened to a certain chief of state.
To Laura- Here Laura seems to be a very close friend and confident of the poetic voice who strives to conceal her love in public.
Enjoyed the zoo poem, no matter if a little smelly.
