Gyvenimo nuėjęs pusę kelio, aš atsidūriau miško tankmėje, pametęs tiesų pėdsaką takelio - Dante Alighieri

"Questo sonetto ha due parti principali; che ne la prima intendo chiamare li fedeli d'Amore per quelle parole di Geremia profeta che dicono: "O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus", e pregare che mi sofferino d'audire;"

All Being within this order, by the laws
of its own nature is impelled to find
its proper station round its Primal Cause.

Thus every nature moves across the tide
of the great sea of being to its own port,
each with its given instinct as its guide.

For I will not abandon you in this low world.
