Petrarch's love poetry is mainly addressed to a woman he saw at church on Good Friday 1327, whom Petrarch calls 'Laura' and who may have been Laura de Noves.

But it is misleading to say that Laura is the primary subject of the sonnets and canzoni: Petrarch says very little about the woman herself.

Petrarch is mainly interested in what 'being in love' feels like; so although the sonnets seem to be addressed to 'Laura' Petrarch is really talking mainly about himself.

Talking about a real woman in a Sonnet pretty much had to wait for Edmund Spenser - who allows the girl to talk in her own person in his 'One Day I Wrote Her Name Upon The Strand - and didn't really get off the ground until Juliet gets to share a sonnet with Romeo in Shakespeare's play.

The primary subject of Petrarch's Canzoniere Songbook was his unrequited love for a woman named Laura. Through his poems, he idealized her beauty and expressed his feelings of love and longing for her.

What is Thomas S Monsons favorite primary song?

When Thomas S. Monson was in Primary, they used a much different song book than they do today. Most of the songs are completely different.In his autobiography he said that he enjoyed singing "Give Said the Little Stream" and that he liked "the Primary Trail Builder" song that went like this:Oh we are the boy trail builders,Out west where the sunsets glow;Where the brooks flow down like silverFrom the heights of the virgin snow. …Our light is the light of virtue,Our strength is the strength of youth;Our trails are the trails of honor,For we build with the stones of truth.He has also talked about a song that went:Dare to be a Mormon;Dare to stand alone.Dare to have a purpose firm,And dare to make it known.Check out the "Related Link" below to see a PDF copy of the Deseret Sunday School Songbook, the most popular church songbook when Thomas S. Monson was a boy, and most likely the one that many of his Primary songs came from.
