Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Entonces se calmó aquel miedo un poco, que en el lago del alma había entrado la noche que pasé con tanta angustia. 21

Multa promittite, pauca servate de promissis.

Being by such a noble lover kissed,
This one, who ne'er from me shall be divided,
Kissed me upon the mouth all palpitating.
