Inferno, CANTO XXXIV

‘When in advance so far we had proceeded, That it my Master pleased to show to me The creature who once had the beauteous semblance, He from before me moved and made me stop, Saying: “Behold Dis, and behold the place Where thou with fortitude must arm thyself” How frozen I became and powerless then, Ask it not, Reader, for I write it not, Because all language would be insufficient.’ -Dante Alighieri c.
