Excerpt from A Night in Avignon
Scene: A room in the chambers of Petrarca at Avignon. It opens on a loggia overlooking, on higher ground, the spired church of Santa Clara and the gray cloisters of a Carthusian monastery. Beyond lie the city walls under glamour of the blue Provençal night.
The room, faintly frescoed, is lighted with many candles; some glittering on a wine-table heavy with wines toward the right front.
