“Into the eternal darkness, into fire and into ice. ”

“Hope not ever to see Heaven. I have come to lead you to theother shore; into eternal darkness; into fire and into ice.”

“Through me is the way to the city of woe. Through me is the way to sorrow eternal. Through me is the way to the lost below. Justice moved my architect supernal. I was constructed by divine power,supreme wisdom, and love primordial. Before me no created things were. Save those eternal, and eternal I abide. Abandon all hope, you who enter.”

“In each fire there is a spirit; Each one is wrapped in what is burning him.”

“Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground”

“Through me the way into the suffering city,Through me the way into eternal pain,Through me the way that runs among the lost.”

“Before me things created were none, save thingsEternal, and eternal I endure.All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”
