About this Work

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and dense, Which in the very thought renews the fear! So bitter is it, death is little more But of the good to treat, which there I found, Speak will I of the other things I saw there. Dante Alighieri. “Divine Comedy”
