ig: herdrafts I’ve started reading the Aeneid some weeks ago, quite big and complex book, also fascinating and full of Homeric references. Latin isn’t an easy language and I can’t reading it nor understand it as I would so this Italian translation has been the most sensible choice. I’ve also got two more classics, sketching and watching old movies, and organizing my reviews this early morning; I didn’t get enough sleep since this week started but I feel great.

The Vision, or Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise of Dante Alighieri, 1916

[frugiperda]

‘’ Amor, ch’al cor gentil ratto s’apprende prese costui de la bella persona che mi fu tolta; e ’l modo ancor m’offende.                 102 Amor, ch’a nullo amato amar perdona, mi prese del costui piacer sì forte, che, come vedi, ancor non m’abbandona.                  105 Amor condusse noi ad una morte: Caina attende chi a vita ci spense». ‘’

- Dante, Inferno V Canto.

Paolo e Francesca (Dante, canto v)

Un drammatico esempio della pericolosità di un sentimento in sè positivo, umano e divino come l’amore: un sentimento che, se non è contenuto entro i limiti dell’onestà e della giustizia, diventa peccato e causa di morte e di dannazione eterna.

“ Amor, ch'a nullo amato amar perdona, mi prese del costui piacer sì forte, che, come vedi, ancor non m'abbandona.”

March 25th is the day believed to be the start of Dante's journey through the celestial realms of hell, purgatory, and heaven. Here are some pictures of my Divina Commedia with illustrations by Gustave Doré. Happy Dante's day everyone!
