About Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri (c. 30 May 1265 – 13 September 1321), most likely baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri, was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

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.

So long have I been subject to Love's sway
And grown accustomed to his mastery That where at first his rule seemed harsh to me
Sweet is his presence in my heart today.
Thus when all fortitude he takes away,
So that my frail spirits seem to flee,
Then I am lost in sweetness utterly
And pallid looks my fainting soul display.
Love marshals then against me all his might;Routed, my spirits wander, murmuring,
And to my lady bring
Petition for new solace in my plight.
Thus by her merest glance I am unmanned,
And pride so humbled, none could understand.
