"The Sades belonged to one of the best Provençal families. It was at the Church of Avignon, on Good Friday, 1327, that Petrarch first saw the woman whom he has immortalised as Laura, then the young bride of the old knight, Hugues de Sade. 'Thus,' as a French writer remarks, 'by some strange freak of Nature, the man who knew only the animal side of love is descended from the woman who aroused in the saintly Petrarch the purest and noblest of all passions.' Petrarch is still the greatest poets of the Romance tongues, and the Sades, whose only claim to honour he is, regarded him as holy. Even the author of Juliette held him in veneration."
