Dante Alighieri Quote
And I — my head oppressed by horror — said:Master, what is it that I hear? Who arethose people so defeated by their pain? And he to me: This miserable wayis taken by the sorry souls of thosewho lived without disgrace and without praise. They now commingle with the coward angels,the company of those who were not rebelsnor faithful to their God, but stood apart. The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened,have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them —even the wicked cannot glory in them.
