• This miserable way is taken by the sorry souls of those who lived without disgrace and without praise. They now commingle with the coward angels, the company of those who were not rebels nor faithful to their God, but stood apart. The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened, have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them - even the wicked cannot glory in them.

    Dante Alighieri: This miserable way
 is taken by the sorry souls of those
 who lived without disgrace and without praise.
 They now commingle with the coward angels,
 the company of those who were not rebels
 nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.
 The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened,
 have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them -
 even the wicked cannot glory in them.
    Dante Alighieri, “Inferno Canto 03”
