INFERNO, Canto XXII, illustration 1

Title: I saw -- the dread of it haunts me to this day --

one linger a bit too long, as it sometimes happens

one frog remains when another spurts away;

and Catclaw, who was nearest, ran a hook

through the sinner's pitchy hair and hauled him in.

He looked like an otter dripping from the brook.
