What does Petrarch's Sonnet 90 say about true love, and what poetic techniques does he use? Petrarch: Sonnet 90 Upon the breeze she spread her golden hairthat in a thousand gentle knots was turnedand the sweet light beyond all radiance burnedin eyes where now that radiance is rare;and in her face there seemed to come an airof pity, true or false, that I discerned:I had love's tinder in my breast unburned,was it a wonder if it kindled there?She moved not like a mortal, but as thoughshe bore an angel's form, her words had thena sound that simple human voices lack;a heavenly spirit, a living sunwas what I saw; now, if it is not so,the wound's not healed because the bow goes.
