Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Ничтожества одни.
В них смысла нет, - ответил мой спаситель, -

Поверь мне, что еще в земные дни
Их существами жалкими считали,
Поскольку ни героями они,

Ни явными злодеями не стали.
А с ними стая ангелов, грехов
Не ведающих, но они в они в опале

За странный выбор свой, а он таков:
Ни зло и ни добро, а нечто между.
Тогда Господь и свергнул с облаков,

Как сбрасывают грязную одежду,
И даже Ад принять их не хотел,
Ведь даже мир утративших надежду,

На них всегда с презрением глядел
