Descending Human
"Through me is the way into the suffering city;
Through me the way into grief eternal;
Through me the way among lost humanity;...
...Only eternal things are older
Than I; and I will forever endure.
Abandon every hope, you who enter."
Dante Alighieri
"The Inferno", canto III
"...And chop up the land, creating an uneven floor,
So the chaos they produced here was the same,
Except that the harshness was much more;..."
Dante Alighieri
"The Inferno", canto IX
" 'This kind of stairs is surely not to your taste,'
...'but be strong in this trial,
For henceforth this is how we descend; have courage,
Mount in front of me so the chance is minimal
That his vicious tail will do you damage.' "
Dante Alighieri
"The Inferno", canto XVII
