Dante Alighieri Quotes
And when he had put his hand on mine with a cheerful look, wherefrom I took courage, he brought me within to the secret things.

Strange tongues, horrible utterances, words of woe, accents of anger, voices high and faint, and sounds of hands with them, were making a tumult which whirls always in that air forever dark, like the sand when the whirlwind breathes.
