The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

There sighs, lamentations and ...

There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

He whom you see-along the down...

He whom you see-along the downward arc- was William, and the land that mourns his death, for living Charles and Frederick, now laments; now he has learned how Heaven loves the just ruler, and he would show this outwardly as well, so radiantly visible.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

O foolish anxiety of wretched ...

O foolish anxiety of wretched man, how inconclusive are the arguments which make thee beat thy wings below!

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

Not one drop of blood is left inside my veins that does not throb: I recognize signs of the ancient flame.

Thou shall know by experience ...

But if, as morning rises, dreams are true.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

Be like a solid tower whose br...

Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow; the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

The hottest places in hell are...

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
[This miserable mode
Maintain the melancholy souls of those
Who lived withouten infamy or praise.]

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

There is no greater pain than ...

There is no greater pain than to remember, in our present grief, past happiness.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

Midway in our life's journey, ...

Midway in our life's journey, I went astray
from the straight road and woke to find myself
alone in a dark wood.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

In that part of the book of my...

In that part of the book of my memory before the which is little that can be read, there is a rubric, saying, Incipit Vita Nova. Under such rubric I find written many things; and among them the words which I purpose to copy into this little book; if not all of them, at the least their substance.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

Fame is not won on downy plume...

Fame is not won on downy plumes nor under canopies; the man who consumes his days without obtaining it leaves such mark of himself on earth as smoke in air or foam on water.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

Your fame is as the grass, who...

Your fame is as the grass, whose hue comes and goes, and His might withers it by whose power it sprang from the lap of the earth.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

The truth thy speech doth show...

The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
[It., Lo tuo ver dir m'incuora
Buona umilta e gran tumor m'appiani.]

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

O power of fantasy that steals...

O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud--what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

The infernal storm, eternal in...

The infernal storm, eternal in its rage, sweeps and drives the spirits with its blast; it whirls them, lashing them with punishment. When they are swept back past their place of judgment then come the shrieks, laments, and anguished cries; there they blaspheme God's almighty power.

Dante Alighieri 287 quotes

As one who sees in dreams and ...

As one who sees in dreams and wakes to find the emotional impression of his vision still powerful while its parts fade from his mind - Just such am I, having lost nearly all the vision itself, while in my heart I feel the sweetness of it yet distill and fall.
