at the base of the skull, gnawing his loathsome dinner.

INFERNO, Canto XIV, illustration 2 (alternate version)

Title: At this my Guide spoke with such vehemence

as I had not heard from him in all of Hell:

"O Capaneus, by your insolence

you are made to suffer as much fire inside

as falls upon you. Only your own rage

could be fit torment for your sullen pride."

INFERNO, Canto XXXII, illustration 2

Title: Just so the livid dead are sealed in place

up to the part at which they blushed fpr shame,

and they beat their teeth like storks. Each holds his face

bowed toward the ice, each of them testifies

to the cold with his chattering mouth, to his heart's grief

with tears that flood forever from his eyes.

and stretching out ahead, a lake so frozen

Title: "Rafel mahee amek zabi almit,"

began a bellowed chant from the brute mouth

for which no sweeter psalmody was fit.

And my Guide in his direction: "Babbling fool,

stick to your horn and vent yourself with it

when rage or passion stir your stupid soul."

Title: Then taking my hand in his, my Master said:

"The better to prepare you for strange truth,

let me explain those shapes you see ahead:

they are not towers but giants. They stand in the well

from the navel down; and stationed round its bank

they mount guard on the final pit of Hell."

I saw what seemed a cluster of great towers,

whereat I cried: "Master, what is this city?"
