a gloomy wood | a panther, nimble, light,And cover'd with a speckled skin, appear'd | With his head held aloft and hunger-mad | From out that savage wilderness |
 |  |  |  |
in such dismal plight | that perilous road | I enter'd on the deep and woody way. | Portrait of Dante Alighieri |
 |  |  |  |
All hope abandon ye who enter here | Desiring without hope | Who sets the world at chance | New torments, new tormented souls |
 |  |  |  |
Woe to you wicked spirits! hope notEver to see the sky again. | Gives sentence, and dismisses them beneath | When they arrive before the ruinous sweep | by that love which carries them along |

Love brought us to one death | Dante's Inferno: 1705.jpg | Dante's Inferno: 1805.jpg | Dante's Inferno: Hell |

Upon their emptiness, that substance seem'd | cruel monster, fierce and strange | Dante's Inferno: 2209.jpg | Dante's Inferno: 2309.jpg |
