Dante Alighieri
O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud--what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.
Dante Alighieri
Love insists the loved loves back
Dante Alighieri
But if, as morning rises, dreams are true.
Dante Alighieri
