Dante Alighieri Quotes

O superbi Cristian, miseri lassi!Che, della vista della mente infermi,Fidanza avete ne' ritrosi passi;Non v' accorgete voi, che noi siam vermiNati a formar l' angelica farfalla,Che vola alla giustizia senza schermi?Di che l' animo vostro in alto galla,Poi siete quasi entomata in difetto,Sì come verme, in cui formazion falla?
