INFERNO, Canto XV, illustration 3

Title: "Ah, had I all my wish," I answered then.

"you would not yet be banished from the world

in which you were a radiance among men,

for that sweet image, gentle and paternal,

you were to me in the world when hour by hour

you taught me how man makes himself eternal,

lives in my mind, and now strikes to my heart..."
