" "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
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.

They have no need to die, for they ‘never were alive’.
