Dante Alighieri

Love, that exempts no one beloved from loving, seized me with pleasure of this man so strongly, that, as thou seest, it doth not yet desert me.
Dante Alighieri
But if, as morning rises, dreams are true.
Dante Alighieri
As the geometer intently seeks to square the circle, but he cannot reach, through thought on thought, the principle he needs, so I searched that strange sight.
Dante Alighieri
