  • Here we find the moat of thieves. And just as a lizard, with a quick, slick slither, Flicks across the highway from hedge to hedge, Fleeter than a flash, in the battering dog-day weather, A fiery little monster, livid, in a rage, Black as any peppercorn, came and made a dart At the guts of the others, and leaping to engage One of the pair, it pierced him at the part Through which we first draw food; then loosed its grip And fell before him, outstretched and apart.

  • I am the way into the city of woe. I am the way to a forsaken people. I am the way into eternal sorrow. Sacred justice moved my architect. I was raised here by divine omnipotence, Primordial love and ultimate intellect. Only those elements time cannot wear Were made before me, and beyond time I stand. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

  • Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer; My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.

    Dante Alighieri (1982). “The divine comedy of Dante Alighieri: a verse translation”
  • Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye.

Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I shall endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

    Dante Alighieri (1846). “The vision; or Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, tr. by H.F. Cary. With notes”, p.18
