Lesson 19

Question SA-6. Here is the text reference (p. 194/3):

She too was a poet of love, but of a very different tone from Mistral's. Agustini grew up in a well-to-do Uruguayan family and was educated at home by tutors. She could read and write by age four, and by ten was writing verses. Her short life was tragic: she married young and divorced almost immediately (she returned from her honeymoon with the remark that she found the experience extremely boring). But she continued to see her former husband, and in one of their secret meetings in a hotel her husband killed her and then himself.
