"And I — my head oppressed by horror — said:
"Master, what is it that I hear? Who are
those people so defeated by their pain?"
And he to me: "This miserable way
is taken by the sorry souls of those
who lived without disgrace and without praise.
They now commingle with the coward angels,
the company of those who were not rebels
nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.
The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened,
have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them — even the wicked cannot glory in them.

Quale nell’ arzana de Viniziani
bolle l’inverno la tenace pece
a rimpalmar li lor legni non sani,
che navicar non ponno, e in quella vece
chi fa suo legno nuovo, e chi ristoppa
le coste a quel che piu viaggi fece;
che ribatti da proda, e chi da poppa;
altri fa remi, ed altri volge sarti;
chi terzeruolo ed artimon rintoppa...
(Inferno XXI 7-15)
