Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur mihi. - Dante Alighieri

,,Ten vir-var neustály
prenasleduje biednych pozemšťanov,
čo žili hore bez hany i chvály.
Sú spolu s podlým zborom nebešťanov,
čo proti Bohu nešli do zápasu,
no ani s ním' lež sami stáli stranou'
Nebesá nechcú stratiť pri nich z jasu,
a pekla dno čuť nechce o bedači,
pri ktorej hriech by získal istú krásu.',

When we understand this we see clearly that the subject round which the alternative senses play must be twofold. And we must therefore consider the subject of this work [the Divine Comedy] as literally understood, and then its subject as allegorically intended. The subject of the whole work, then, taken in the literal sense only is "the state of souls after death" without qualification, for the whole progress of the work hinges on it and about it. Whereas if the work be taken allegorically, the subject is "man as by good or ill deserts, in the exercise of the freedom of his choice, he becomes liable to rewarding or punishing justice."

Abandon every hope, all you who enter.
