Dante Alighieri
Image
As one who sees in dreams and wakes to find the emotional impression of his vision still powerful while its parts fade from his mind - Just such am I, having lost nearly all the vision itself, while in my heart I feel the sweetness of it yet distill and fall.
Dante Alighieri

Give unto us this day the daily manna Without which, in this desert where we dwell, He must go backward who would most advance.
