Back from Rome last week. Rome, a beautiful city.

Bought Dante's Divine Comedy translated by Cary. Tremendous read, but very difficult to understand. Therefore just now (6 June 21:00)  bought Mark Musa's translation.

Right now reading Musa from a pdf version I got online.

 

From Inferno Canto 23:
I felt my body's skin begin to tighten,
I was so frightened!
I kept looking back
If they were following on my tracks
"Master, O my Master", I cried
"If you do not hide
Both of us and very quick
I am afraid of the civilizing whip
Right now they're on our trail
I feel they're here
I feel I hear them
I think they're here
I think I hear them
NOW!"
