Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

This beast, at which thou criest out,
Suffers not any one to pass her way
But so doth harass him, that she destroys him;

And has a nature so malign and ruthless
That never doth she glut her greedy will,
And after food is hungrier than before.

Respondendo a uma pergunta que me fez Conseil sobre a duração do crescimento daquelas barreiras colossais, causei-lhe grande espanto dizendo-lhe que os sábios calculavam esse desenvolvimento em cerca de um oitavo de polegada por século. — Logo, para erguer tudo — disse-me ele — , foram precisos... — Cento e noventa e dois mil anos, meu caro Conseil, o que dilata muito singularmente os dias bíblicos. Além disto, a formação do carvão de pedra, isto é, a mineralização das florestas unidas por inundações, tem exigido um espaço de tempo ainda muito mais considerável. Devo, porém, acrescentar que os dias da Bíblia são apenas épocas e não intervalos que correm entre dois ocasos do sol, porque, segundo a própria Bíblia, o sol não data do primeiro dia da Criação.
