Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza

Joyous Love seemed to me, the while he held
My heart within his hands, and in his arms
My lady lay asleep wrapped in a veil.
He woke her then and trembling and obedient
She ate that burning heart out of his hand;
Weeping I saw him then depart from me.

«Raphèl maì amècche zabì almi»,
