http://dantescomedy.blogspot.com/2009/03/inferno-song-xiii.html
A translation in progress. Monday, March 9, 2009. Virgil and Dante enter the Forest of Suicides, the home of the Harpies. Had not yet arrived at the other side. When we started on through a wood. Of which no path was marked. No green leaves, just ones of gloomy color. No smooth branches, just ones knotted and twisted. No fruit was there, just poisonous thorns. Among these branches so rough and dense there are. None of the savage beasts that shun. The fields tended between Cecina. Here the terrible Harpies.

A translation in progress. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Dante and Virgil encounter Homer and the other classical poets in Limbo. The deep sleep within my head was broken by. A heavy thunderclap, so that I roused myself. Like one forcefully awakened,. Moving around my rested eyes. Standing up straight, I fixed my gaze. In order to know the place wherein I was. It is true: I found myself upon the edge. Of the valley of the abyss of sorrows. Which gathers the thunder of infinite woe. Sighs, rather than tears,.

http://dantescomedy.blogspot.com/2008/10/preface.html
A translation in progress. Thursday, October 23, 2008. I’ve wondered for quite some time how Dante comes across in Italian. My curiosity was first piqued when I was reading Robert Pinsky. 8217;s translation of the Inferno.

I had read a number of selections from a translation of Boccaccio’s. Lines ten syllables long are organized int...

Here shall your nobility appear. I began: “Oh, poet who guides me,. Examine my character, to the extent that I possess it,. You tell of Silvius.

Feels the heat,. These were made in the same manner,. Although not so high nor wide. We were already outside the wood.
