Andrea Del Sarto (1836 - 1530) was a Florentine painter whose career flourished during the High Renaissance. In this dramatic monologue, "the faultless painter" (Andrea Senza Errori, as he was surnamed by the Italians) is the speaker. He addresses his unsympathetic wife, Lucrezia, upon whom he dotes, and for whom he has broken faith with his royal patron, Francis I of France so that he can meet the expenses of her indulgent lifestyle. He laments that he has not realized the possibilities of his genius, partly blaming and partly excusing the woman who has failed to support his high ideals.

En el espíritu, el cielo pierde su azul y la noche su negrura. Los huesos y la carne del poeta devorada por el alma se pudren en el catafalco de sus versos.

Le « feu », c’est ce trauma qui m’a ravagée dans ce que j’ai de plus intime et qui a chamboulé ce que je croyais réellement posséder, mon corps, mon âme et tout ce qui se situe entre les deux. Mais j’ai espoir qu’en en parlant, un dialogue s’installe. Ce livre, je l’adresse à mes sœurs et à mes frères partout dans le monde, à toute personne qui entamerait un processus de guérison ou de travail sur soi.
