Here powers failed my high imagination:

Like a balanced wheel rotated evenly,
By the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Farinata and Tegghiaio, men of good blood, Jacopo Rusticucci, Arrigo, Mosca, and the others who set their hearts on doing good — where are they now whose high deeds might be-gem the crown of kings? I long to know their fate. Does Heaven soothe or Hell envenom them?
