[Opinions] Re: Laura
in reply to a message by Manipura
It bores me, although there's nothing wrong with it. It's broad and yellow and reminds me of a golden retriever. In English I'd say LAWR-ə, but in my mother tongue it's LOW-ra (rolled R), which I prefer - less dated, more pastoral. It's a bucolic story that every Polish child will have read about a shepherdess, Laura, and her lover, Filon.

Interesting association, I think for most Italians it’s Petrarch’s beloved.
