Context: p>As in a studio of creative Death
The giant sons of Darkness sit and plan
The drama of the earth, their tragic stage.
All who would raise the fallen world must come
Under the dangerous arches of their power;
For even the radiant children of the gods
To darken their privilege is and dreadful right.
None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell.This too the traveller of the worlds must dare.</p
Guido Guinizzelli (1230–1276) Italian poet
(Che) nessuna scienza
Senz’ ammaestratura
Non saglie in grande altura
Per proprio sentimento.
Canzone. (Poeti del Primo Secolo, Firenze, 1816, Vol. I, p. 83).
