An “unreal vision-scene” of this character’s death is broken by “you women [who] called me by your grace.” This character refuses to greet the narrator after his “unseemly” treatment of a woman he met on the “road of sighs,” causing him to stop pretending to love other women. Lord Love forces this character to eat a burning heart within a fiery cloud. A prosimetrum beginning “in the (*) book of my memory” records how the narrator first met this character when they were both nine years old. St. Bernard takes over from this character after she returns to her home, a giant rose in the Empyrean. This dedicatee of La Vita Nuova guides the narrator through the nine celestial spheres in Paradiso. For 10 points, name this beloved of Dante Alighieri. ■END■
