who, had his legs been trimmed away at the groin,

would have looked for all the world like a mandolin.

INFERNO, Canto XXX, illustration 2

Title: …two I saw, pale, naked, and unclean,

who suddenly came running toward us then,

snapping their teeth as they ran, like hungry swine

let out to feed after a night in the pen.

INFERNO, Canto XXX, illustration 1

Title: Hecuba -- mourning, wretched, and a slave --

having seen Polyxena sacrificed,

and Polydorus dead without a grave;

lost and alone, beside an alien sea,

began to bark and growl like a dog

in the mad seizure of her misery.

INFERNO, Canto XIV, illustration 3 (alternate version)

Title: His head is made of gold; of silverwork

his breast and both his arms, of polished brass

the rest of his great torso to the fork.

He is of chosen iron from there down,

except that his right foot is terra cotta;

it is this foot he rests more weight upon.

Every part except the gold is split

by a great fissure from which endless tears

drip down and hollow out the mountain's pit.

he rose above the flame, great chest, great brow;

he seemed to hold all Hell in disrespect.
