Purgatory: Canto XI - The First Cornice: The Humble Prayer. Saturday, February 26, 2005. Canto XI - The First Cornice: The Proud. I met a traveler from an antique land. Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone. Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,. Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,. And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,. Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,. Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,. And on the pedestal these words appear:. Thoug...

Purgatory: Canto XII - The Proud: The Humble Prayer. Saturday, February 26, 2005. Purgatory: Canto XII - The Proud: The Rein of Pride. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.". Dante spends too much time with Od'risi, who reflects most appropriately his own venial sin of pride, and on which he'll reflect for some time yet. "Ah, what a difference between these trails/ and those of Hell: here every entrace fills with joyous song, and there with savage wails!

Purgatory: Canto 21 -- Praise of Virgil
Purgatory: Canto 21 - Praise of Virgil. Sunday, March 06, 2005. Purgatory: Canto 21, The Fifth Cornice - Statius. For those who haven't read the Thebiad. Which was enough, it seems, to have provided for Statius's salvation in his having read it, but not enough to provide for Virgil's in his having written it. After the introductions have been made and Statius has explained more of the nature of the mountain, he adds that he was one of the "more than a thousand poets" kindled by the flame of the Aeneid.

In the first case, he read the lines of Virgil's Aeneid. Every artistic en...

Purgatory: Canto 28 -- The River Lethe
Purgatory: Canto 28 - The River Lethe. Wednesday, March 16, 2005. Purgatory: Canto 28 - The Earthly Paradise: The River Lethe. Matilda, as a representative of the active life, is meant to prepare us for the contemplative life, just as Lethe, which is the river of sin's forgetfulness, is meant to prepare us for Eunoe, which is the river of good's memory. While Dante expresses no desire for this woman in the garden beyond knowing of her and her state, he berates himself in his Vita Nuova.
