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. (10[1])St. (-5[1])Bernard takes over from this character after she returns to her home, (10[1])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■ (10[1])
