Fragment of the literary work

Divine Comedy
Hell (Canto I)
Dark forest
Lost, the poet roams for an entire night in a tangled and dark jungle, and only at the break of dawn does he begin.
as he exits her. On his way, a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf cross his path, intending to take him back to the jungle.

Halfway through the journey of life


I found myself in a dark jungle,
with the right path already lost.
Ah, well, it's hard to say which was the hard thing.

this wild, rough and strong jungle


that in thinking renews the horror!
It is so bitter that something else is death;
more for the good I found there
I will tell how much I had the fortune of there.
I wouldn't know how I got in,
Well, I was overtaken by sleep on the same day.
in which the true path I abandoned.

Oh how it seemed to me a great wonder


when I saw three faces on his forehead!
One in front and it was reddish,
the others were two, which were joining that one
from each shoulder in the middle,
and they gathered at the place of the crest:
and the right side seemed between yellow and white,
the left in sight was just as it is
those who come from where the Nile channels.
Under each one, two large wings emerged.
as it suited a certain bird:
I never saw such sailing candles.

...In each mouth, I crushed with my teeth


to a sinner, as if crushing him,
and so it was that three of them would suffer.
For him, the bite was little.
in the tearing, that many times the back
left him with torn skin.
That one up there who suffers the greatest pain,
said the Master, it is Judas Iscariot,
what the head has inside, and outside shakes the legs.
Of the other two that are upside down,
the one hanging from the black trunk is Bruto;
Look how it writhes, without saying a word!
and the other is Casio, who looks so muscular.
But the night is reborn, and it is time
to leave that we have already seen everything.

...Be attentive, because by this scale,


said the Master, panting like an exhausted man,
It is advisable to distance ourselves from so many evils...
