From there we came outside and saw the stars - Dante Alighieri

Through me is the way to the city of woe.
Through me is the way to sorrow eternal.
Through me is the way to the lost below. Justice moved my architect supernal.
I was constructed by divine power,
supreme wisdom, and love primordial.
Before me no created things were.
Save those eternal, and eternal I abide.
Abandon all hope, you who enter.

That your art, as best it can, also follows Divine Intellect, as the disciple follows the master; So in reality, your art is, as it were, God's grandchild.

Eis Tirésias, o que mudara o aspeito,
Femíneas formas e feições tomara,
42 Sendo-lhe o que era varonil desfeito.
“Ao sexo seu tornou, quando encontrara,
Inda uma vez, travadas serpes duas
45 E outra vez com bordão as separara.
