INFERNO, Canto XXIX, illustration 1

Title: …and from those dead

such shrieks and strangled agonies shrilled through me
like shafts, but barbed with pity that my hands
flew to my ears.

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.
