Sarah: Quoteee

“Per me si va ne la città dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:
fecemi la divina podestate,
la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'entrate”



English Translation:

'Through me you go to the grief wracked city;

Through me you go to everlasting pain;

Through me you go a pass among lost souls.

Justice inspired my exalted Creator:

I am a creature of the Holiest Power,

Of Wisdom in the Highest and of Primal Love.

Nothing till I was made was made,

Only eternal beings. And I endure eternally.

Abandon all hope - Ye Who Enter Here.'

—Dante’s Inferno
