Rome, with their wealth OF literary and
artistic associations, were all wildly pOr
trayed for her audience Borne on the
wings of her powerful imagination her
hearers visited with her the birthplace Of
Virgil, the home of the banished poet
Dante, the haunts OF Tasso and Petrarch,
stood on the balcony where Juliet vel

Padna with Kate and Petruchio, thrilled

masterpieces Of GiOttO, Leonardo Da
