"[Sonetto V]
Cavalcando l’altr’ier per un cammino,
pensoso de l’andar che mi sgradia,
trovai Amore in mezzo de la via
in abito leggier di peregrino.
Ne la sembianza mi parea meschino,
come avesse perduto segnoria;
e sospirando pensoso venia,
per non veder la gente, a capo chino.
Quando mi vide, mi chiamò per nome,
e disse: "Io vegno di lontana parte,
ov’era lo tuo cor per mio volere;
e recolo a servir novo piacere".
Allora presi di lui sì gran parte,
ch’elli disparve, e non m’accorsi come."
Dante Alighieri (c. 30 May 1265 – 13 September 1321), most likely baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri, was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.

قلت وقد حَفّ برأسي الرعب: أستاذي، ما هذا الذي أسمع ؟ ومن هؤلاء القوم الذين يبدون وقد غلبهم الألم هكذا ؟
أجابني: هذه الصورة البائسة، تتخذها النفوس التعسة، لأولئك الذين عاشوا دون خزيٍ أو ثناء
إنهم مختلطون بتلك الزمرة الطالحة من الملائكة، الذين لم يكون ثائرين، ولا مخلصين لله، بل كانوا لأنفسهم
لقد طردتهم السماء كي لا ينقص جمالها، و لا تقبلهم الجحيم العميقة، حتى لا يحرز عليهم الآثمون بعض الفخر
قلت: أستاذي، أي ألمٍ مريرٍ يحملهم على هذا البكاء العنيف ؟ فأجابني: سأقول لك هذا بكل إيجاز
ليس لهؤلاء في الموت أمل، وحياتهم العمياء شديدة الضِّعة، فهم يحسدون كل المصائر الأخرى
لا يَدَع العالَم لهم ذِكراً، وتزدريهم الرحمة، والعدالة
فرجيل ودانتي في الجحيم، الكوميديا الإلهية.
Midway in our life’s journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood. How shall I say what wood that was! I never saw so drear, so rank, so arduous a wilderness! Its very memory gives a shape to fear. Death could scarce be more bitter than that place! But since it came to good, I will recount all that I found revealed there by God’s grace. How I came to it I cannot rightly say, so drugged and loose with sleep had I become when I first wandered there from the True Way. But at the far end of that valley of evil whose maze had sapped my very heart with fear! I found myself before a little hill (15) and lifted up my eyes. Its shoulders glowed already with the sweet rays of that planet whose virtue leads men straight on every road, and the shining strengthened me against the fright whose agony had wracked the lake of my heart through all the terrors of that piteous night.
