"The only answer that I give to you
is doing it," he said. "A just request
is to be met in silence, by the act."

Hear me and then consider: am not I
The keep and key
Of all the torments sorrow can combine?

Amore e 'l cor gentil sono una cosa...
e così esser l'un sanza l'altro osa
com'alma razional sanza ragione.

I make no other answer than the act, the Master said: the only fit reply to a fit request is silence and the fact. - Dante Alighieri
