Beautiful verse translated from the Italian : "[...] Love, spite, pain, the season had brought me back to this solitary place where my tired heart likes to lay down the weight of its troubles. There, in the middle of the greenery, my voice extinguished in my tears, overcome by sleep, I saw a great light illuminating a thousand pictures of pain and some images of pleasure [...]". Autograph signed by his niece Amélie Lenormant "1st page of a translation of Petrarch undertaken at the beginning of 1818 by M. Ballanche, M. de Montmorency and Mme Récamier at the Vallée Aux Loups.
