Dante Alighieri
Love, who insists that love shall mutual be, Link'd me to him with charm strong as our fates Even now it leaves me not, as thou dost see.
Dante Alighieri
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.
Dante Alighieri
The human race finds itself in a better situation when it has the higher level of freedom.
Dante Alighieri
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. Justice urged on my high artificer My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
As little flowers, which the chill of night has bent and huddled, when the white sun strikes, grow straight and open fully on their stems, so did I, too, with my exhausted force.
Dante Alighieri
As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.
Dante Alighieri
