In the first poem “Laura”, Laura is described as a "divine woman" with deep eyes, golden hair and graceful movements like an angel. In the last line, it is told that Laura underwent physical changes, she aged, and her beauty fades with age.

EXPLANATION

Although Laura seems different in “present” and “past” the speaker still loves her. This shows true love, which does not look at physical only. So, the common details the speaker remembers about Laura is her beauty.

The poem "Laura" by Italian poet Francesco Petrarch, illustrates a man's obsession for years with a woman and her beauty. Laura is a love poem. It is said that this poem was written for about 20 years. Most of these poems are included Canzoniere or Rime. Laura in this poem is suspected to be Laura de Noves. Laura de Noves is a woman and a mother from Avignon, France. But because Petrarch gave no clue who Laura really was, some readers suggested another Laura's name. Some critics believe that Laura is not a fictional character, not inspired by one particular person.

Based on the poem, Petrarch was supposed to meet Laura for the first time on 6 April 1327 at a Church of Sts. Claire, Avignon. In his poetry, he seems to have made Laura a lifelong obsession, even until his death on April 6, 1348.
