Description

"That place is the lowest and the darkest
And the farthest from all-encircling heaven.
I know the pathway well, so rest assured.

The marshland that breathes out a monstrous stench
Girdles all about the tear-racked city
Where now we cannot enter without wrath.

And more he said, but it escapes my mind
For my eye had completely drawn me upward
To the high tower with the flame-tipped top."

"Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here."

"O human race born to fly upward, wherefore at a little wind dost thou fall."

Dante Alighieri
