Dante Alighieri, an Italian poet and a pioneer of the Renaissance, is hailed as the father of Italian literature.

“Now had the sun to that horizon reach'd, That covers, with the most exalted point Of its meridian circle, Salem's walls; And night, that opposite to him her orb Rounds, from the stream of Ganges issued forth, Holding the scales, that from her hands are dropt When she reigns highest: so that where I was, Aurora's white and vermeil - tinctured cheek To orange turn'd as she in age increased.”

“Con lluvia llegó, con lluvia se marchaba. Y con el amargo sabor a soledad que la acompañó durante esos tres días, Anahí dobló en una esquina y se esfumó. Su tiempo había acabado.”

“Dolce color d’oriental zaffiro, che s’accoglieva nel sereno aspetto del mezzo, puro infino al primo giro, a li occhi miei ricominciò diletto, tosto ch’io usci’ fuor de l’aura morta che m’avea contristati li occhi e ‘l petto.”

“Si cuarenta mil niños sucumben diariamente en el purgatorio del hambre y de la sed si la tortura de los pobres cuerpos envilece una a una a las almas y si el poder se ufana de sus cuarentenas o si los pobres de solemnidad son cada vez menos solemnes y más pobres ya es bastante grave que un solo hombre o una sola mujer contemplen distraídos el horizonte neutro pero en cambio es atroz sencillamente atroz si es la humanidad la que se encoge de hombros.”

Purgatorio

Author:Dante Alighieri

“-A pesar de nuestros pobres esfuerzos, el limbo debe estar lleno de chinos, ¿no cree usted? -Ya, ¡ya! -Y los pequeñines, mujer, los que no saben andar, que estarán siempre parados como gusanines en el mismo sitio? -Verdaderamente. -Muchas gracias tenemos que dar a Dios por haber nacido españolas. Si hubiéramos nacido en China, a lo mejor nuestros hijos se iban al limbo sin remisión. ¡Tener hijos para eso! ¡Con lo que una sufre para tenerlos y con la guerra que dan de chicos! ¡Pobres hijas, qué ajenas están del peligro que corrieron! Menos mal que nacieron en España, ¡pero mire usted si llegan a nacer en China!”

“twas now the hour that turneth back desire In those who sail the sea, and melts the heart, The day they've said to their sweet friends farewell, And the new pilgrim penetrates with love, If he doth hear from far away a bell That seemeth to deplore the dying day”

Purgatorio Longfellow

Author:Dante Alighieri
