Dante Alighieri
Image
Here let dead poetry rise once more to life.
Dante Alighieri
Image
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. [This miserable mode Maintain the melancholy souls of those Who lived withouten infamy or praise.]
Dante Alighieri
Image
The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and likewise pain.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Consider the sea's listless chime: Time's self it is, made audible.
Dante Alighieri

Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
Dante Alighieri
Image
To course across more kindly waters now my talent's little vessel lifts her sails, leaving behind herself a sea so cruel and what I sing will be that second kingdom, in which the human soul is cleansed of sin, becoming worthy of ascent to Heaven.
