I found myself within a forest dark,
Dante AlighieriMidway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Dante AlighieriIt may be that what we call modern is nothing, but what is not worthy of remaining to become old.
Dante AlighieriThrough me the way into the suffering city,
Through me the way into eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
Be as a tower, that, firmly set,
Shakes not its top for any blast that blows!
Love, which absolves no one beloved from loving,
seized me so strongly with his charm that,
as you see, it has not left me yet.
Love brought us to one death.
In each fire there is a spirit; Each one is wrapped in what is burning him.
Dante AlighieriMidway along the journey of our life
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
for I had wandered off from the straight path.
How hard it is to tell what it was like,
this wood of wilderness, savage and stubborn
(the thought of it brings back all my old fears),
a bitter place! Death could scarce be bitterer.
But if I would show the good that came of it
I must talk about things other than the good.

I make no other answer than the act,
the Master said: "The only fit reply
to a fit request is silence and the fact." [XXIV]
