Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

What is a smile but the coruscation of the joy of the soul, like the outward shining of an inward light

Many a time the thought returns to me:
What sad conditions Love on me bestows!
And moved by Pity I say frequently:
'Can there be anyone who my state knows?'
For Love takes hold of me so suddenly
My vital spirits I am near to lose.
One only of them all survives in me,
Staying to speak of you, as Love allows.
To aid me then my forces I renew
And pallid, all my courage drained long since,
I come to you to remedy my plight;
But if I raise my eyes to look at you
So vast a tremor in my heart begins
My beating pulses put my soul to flight.

"lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate"
آنکه پا از این در به درون میگذاری دست از هر امیدی بشوی
