“There is a place,
List, daughter! in a black and hollow vault,
Where day is never seen; there shines no sun,
But flaming horror of consuming fires;
A lightless sulphur, choked with smoky fogs
Of an infected darkness; in this place
Dwell many thousand thousand sundry sorts
Of never-dying deaths.”

By horrid cliff, by bottom dark and drear;
And giddy precipice, where path was none.”

Per balze e per pendici orride e strane,
Dove non via, dove sentier non era.
