“There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, as sand eddies in a whirlpool.” Dante Alighieri
“I saw within Its depth how It conceives all things in a single volume bound by Love, of which the universe is the scattered leaves.” Dante Alighieri
“The reputation which the world bestows is like the wind, that shifts now here now there, its name changed with the quarter whence it blows.” Dante Alighieri
“With the color that paints the morning and evening clouds that face the sun I saw then the whole heaven suffused.” Dante Alighieri
