beautiful! I literally, the real version of that word, picked The Divine Comedy up in the bookstore this week... before putting it back down because I just wasn't feeling up to a 900 page poem. But I'll read it someday. I like this version!
So gutsy to attempt to write a summary poem. I had the good fortune to study The Inferno with Iliescu, real a master. And I'll never forget, the nice polite people who fail to stop the evil going on around them are in the lowest dregs of hell, even below the popes! “Literature is in a real, direct, and tangible way, about life—especially the moral choices life demands of us—and about how we are to make sense of it all. It is thus easy to understand why, above all, Dante’s Divine Comedy proved to be his favorite work."
Interesting, Bill. Yeah, I kinda wrote it for people who don't want to read the whole thing. Thanks.
