S'i' credesse che mia risposta fosse

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Christ did not say to His first congregation:
‘Go and preach twaddle to the waiting world.’
[XXIX:109-110]

Eager now to explore in and about
the luxuriant holy forest evergreen
that softened the new light, I started out,

without delaying longer, from the stair
and took my lingering way into the plain
on ground that breathed a fragrance to the air.

You’ll leave behind you all you hold most dear. And this will be the grievous arrow barb that exile, first of all, will shoot your way.
