Consider how your souls were sown:
you were not made to live like brutes or beasts,
but to pursue virtue and knowledge.
– Dante Alighieri, Inferno, 26.118-120.

It was the hour that turns seafarers’ longings
homeward—the hour that makes their hearts grow tender
upon the day they bid sweet friends farewell;
the hour that pierces the new traveler
with love when he has heard, far off, the bell
that seems to mourn the dying of the day.
— Dante, Purg., 8.1-6.

mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
che la diritta via era smarrita.
