To Get Back Up
“To get back up to the shining world from there, my guide and I went into that hidden tunnel.
And Following its path, we took no care to rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far, through a round aperture I saw appear
Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears, where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.”
―Dante Alighieri
It Was The Hour Of Morning

when the sun mounts with those stars
that shone with it when God’s own love
first set in motion those fair things.”

I Am The Way Into The City Of Woe
“I am the way into the city of woe,
I am the way into eternal pain,
I am the way to go among the lost.
Justice caused my high architect to move,
Divine omnipotence created me,
The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me there were no created things
But those that last forever—as do I.
Abandon all hope you who enter here.”
―Dante Alighieri, Inferno
