Leopardi

By the cast of his mind and the course of his inward experience he was drawn towards Leopardi.

In later years Lenau's verses, like those of Leopardi in Italy, became ever more melancholy, owing partly to inherited tendencies.

This may be seen by a reference to Leopardi, who is perhaps the greatest stylist of the century.

And after dinner when he smoked, and she read Leopardi aloud to him, the frosted cake was quite forgotten.
