Dante Alighieri
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.

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
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
