DANTE

of Italy, architect of the under world, journalist,
lover, and poor politician.  Wrote articles for magazines, but
used too much slang. Later fell in love.  The girl (see her)
knew what journalists were, and refused to spoon.  Exasperated,
he began a bombardment of poetry. That settled it.  D. then
entered politics.  Soon learned they did not mix with love and
his business.  Both he and his manuscripts were banished.
Traveled in Italy in the interests of safety. Posed for his
bust while suffering with a bad attack of dyspepsia.
