                  Hell is deep —

          all the more astonishing to look up,


                  then, and be blinded by

                                  the light.



Note: I’m still feeling my way through Dante’s Divine Comedy — Hell, to be precise. I’ve just finished Henry F. Cary’s “Hell,” and am ready as hell to read John Aitken Carlyle’s “Inferno.” After that, I’ll move on to Melville Best Anderson’s “Purgatorio.”
