Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

taught me that the great secret of Dante’s masterpiece lay in the handling of the verse, which always moved forward even in the most intensely compressed of episodes.

O sun which clears all mists from troubled sight,
such joy attends your rising that I feel
as grateful to the dark as to the light.

If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought. - Dante Alighieri
