they utter their laments on the strange trees. - ✔✔Inferno 13
(Seventh Circle, Second Ring)
✔✔From every side I heard the sound of cries,
but I could not see any source for them,
so that, in my bewilderment, I stopped.
I think that he was thinking that I thought
so many voices moaned among those trunks
from people who had been concealed from us. - ✔✔Inferno 13
(Seventh Circle, Second Ring)
✔✔Therefore my master said: "If you would tear
a little twig from any of these plants,
the thoughts you have will also be cut off."
Then I stretched out my hand a little way

I am the one who guarded both the keys
of Frederick's heart and turned them, locking and
unlocking them with such dexterity

(Seventh Circle, Second Ring)
✔✔"...and I was faithful to my splendid office,
so faithful that I lost both sleep and strength.
The ***** who never turned her harlot's eyes
away from Caesar's dwelling, she who is
the death of all and vice of every court,
inflamed the minds of everyone against me;
, and those inflamed, then so inflamed Augustus
that my delighted honors turned to sadness.
My mind, because of its disdainful temper,
believing it could flee disdain through death,
made me unjust against my own just self." - ✔✔Inferno 13
(Seventh Circle, Second Ring)
✔✔Canto XIV - ✔✔The Seventh Circle, Third Ring: the Violent against God. The First
Zone: Blasphemers, supine on fiery sands. Capaneus. Vigil on the Old Man of Crete,

stared steadily at us, as in the dusk,
beneath the new moon, men look at each other.

as an old tailor at his needle's eye. - ✔✔Inferno 15
(Seventh Circle, Third Ring, Second Zone)
✔✔..."My son, do not mind if Brunetto
Latino lingers for a while with you
and lets the file he's with pass on ahead."
I said: "With all my strength I pray you, stay;
and if you'd have me rest awhile with you,
I shall, if that please him with whom I go." - ✔✔Inferno 15
(Seventh Circle, Third Ring, Second Zone)
✔✔And he began: "What destiny or chance
has led you here below before your last
day came, and who is he who shows the way?"
"There, in the sunlit life above," I answered,
