" "

There he died; and as thou seest me, saw
I the three fall one by one, between the fifth
day and the sixth: whence I betook me,
already blind, to groping over each, and for
three days called them, after they were dead;
then fasting had more power than grief.

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

"Lenivosti sa teraz zbaviť treba,"
riekol môj vodca, "sotva dôjdu slávy,
čo na perí sa mäkko uvelebia.

A ten, kto bez nej márny život strávi,
len takú stopu nechá v svete celom
jak v dielke dym a pena v prúde riavy,

A preto vstaň a slabost svoju prelom
so silou duch, ktorý všetko zdolá,
ak neklesne pod svojím ťažkým telom."
