"So I saw more than a thousand souls of the ruined
Flee before one who strode across the Styx
Dry-shod as though on land. With his left hand
He cleared the polluted air before his face
And only in that annoyance did he seem tired
I knew assuredly he was sent to us
From Heaven, and I turned my head to regard
The Master - who signaled that I should be mute
And bow before him. Ah, to me he appeared
So full of high disdain! he went to the gate
And opened it by means of a little wand
And there was no resistance. "O race cast out
From Heaven, exiles despised there," he intoned
From that grim threshold, "Why this insolence?
Why do you kick against that Will whose end
Cannot be thwarted, and whose punishments
Many times over have increased your pain?
What use to butt at what the fates dispence?
Remember, Cerberus's throat and chin,
For just this reason, still are stripped of fur."
Then he turned back on the filthy path again
Not speaking a word to us, but with the air
Of one whom other matters must concern
Than those who stand before him. And so, secure
Afer those holy words, we in our turn
Stepped forward toward the city & through the gate,
Entering without dispute. Anxious to learn"

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri
علم فلسفه بشرط آنکه تنها از یک جانب خاصش مورد نظر قرار نگیرد، بدان کس که اهل ادراک باشد، میآموزد که چسان طبیعت، از عقل الهی و از هنرش ناشی شده و اگر تو فیزیکِ خودت را بدقت بخوانی، بی آنکه صفحات بسیار از آن خوانده باشی درخواهی یافت که هنر و صنعت بشری، همچنانکه شاگرد بدنبال استاد خود میرود، تا آنجا که برایش امکان داشته باشد طبیعت را پیروی میکند، چنانکه هنر شما تقریبا حکم نواده ی خداوند را دارد.
[Sonetto X]
Amore e ’l cor gentil sono una cosa,
sì come il saggio in suo dittare pone,
e così esser l’un sanza l’altro osa
com’alma razional sanza ragione.
Falli natura quand’è amorosa,
Amor per sire e ’l cor per sua magione,
dentro la qual dormendo si riposa
tal volta poca e tal lunga stagione.
Bieltate appare in saggia donna poi,
che piace a li occhi sì, che dentro al core
nasce un disio de la cosa piacente;
e tanto dura talora in costui,
che fa svegliar lo spirito d’Amore.
E simil face in donna omo valente.
