Dante Alighieri
e quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle (and thence we came forth to see again the stars)
Dante Alighieri
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
...ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa, l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle ...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.

Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost.

Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes]
Dante Alighieri
I wept not — so to stone I grew within.
Dante Alighieri
Do not desert me when I need you most. And if we can't go on together, let's retrace our steps as quickly as we can.
Dante Alighieri
O mortal men, be wary of how ye judge.
Dante Alighieri
Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.
Dante Alighieri
Without hope we live in desire.
Dante Alighieri
