Eager now to explore in and about the luxuriant holy forest evergreen that softened the new light, I started out,
without delaying longer, from the stair and took my lingering way into the plain on ground that breathed a fragrance to the air.
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.
