The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between c. 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature,[1] and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature.[2] The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language.[3] It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven;[4] but at a deeper level, it represents, allegorically, the soul's journey towards God.[5] At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas.[6] Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in vers [more]

Many Years Ago, In The Days Of The First Rainham And Of Wooden Ships, It Had Been No Doubt A Flourishing Ship-Yard; And, Indeed, Models Of Wooden Leviathans Of The Period, Which Had Been Turned Out, Not A Few, In Those Palmy Days, Were Still Dusty Ornaments Of Its Somewhat Antique Office. But As Time Went On, And The Age Of Iron Intervened, And The Advance On The Clyde And The Tyne Had Made Thames Ship-Building A Thing Of The Past, Blackpool Dock Had Ceased To Be Of Commercial Importance. No More Ships Were Built There, And Fewer Ships Put In To Be Overhauled And Painted; While Even These Were For The Most Part Of A Class Viewed At Lloyd's With Scant Favour, Which Seemed, Like The Yard Itself, To Have Fallen Somewhat Behind The Day. The Original Rainham Had Not Bequeathed His Energy Along With His Hoards To His Descendants; And, Indeed, The Last Of These, Philip Rainham, A Man Of Weak Health, Original Rainham Had Not Bequeathed His Energy Along With His Hoards To His Descendants; And, Indeed, The Last Of These, Philip Rainham, A Man Of Weak Health, Whose Tastes, Although These Were Veiled In Obscurity, Were Supposed To Trench Little Upon Shipping, Let The Business Jog Along So Much After Its Own Fashion, That The Popular View Hinted At Its Imminent Dissolution. A Dignified, Scarcely Prosperous Quiet Seemed The Normal Air Of Blackpool Dock, So That Even When It Was Busiest --And Work Still Came In, Almost By Tradition, With A Certain [more]

In The Midway Of This Our Mortal Life, I Found Me In A Gloomy Wood, Astray Gone From The Path Direct: And E'en To Tell It Were No Easy Task, How Savage Wild That Forest, How Robust And Rough Its Growth, Which To Remember Only, My Dismay Renews, In Bitterness Not Far From Death. Yet To Discourse Of What There Good Befell, All Else Will I Relate Discover'd There. How First I Enter'd It I Scarce Can Say, Such Sleepy Dullness In That Instant Weigh'd My Senses Down, When The True Path I Left, But When A Mountain's Foot I Reach'd, Where Clos'd The Valley, That Had Pierc'd My Heart With Dread, I Look'd Aloft, And Saw His Shoulders Broad Already Vested With That Planet's Beam, Who Leads All Wanderers Safe Through Every Way.

Now Was The Sun So Station'd, As When First His Early Radiance Quivers On The Heights, Where Stream'd His Maker's Blood, While Libra Hangs Above Hesperian Ebro, And New Fires Meridian Flash On Ganges' Yellow Tide. So Day Was Sinking, When The' Angel Of God Appear'd Before Us. Joy Was In His Mien. Forth Of The Flame He Stood Upon The Brink, And With A Voice, Whose Lively Clearness Far Surpass'd Our Human, "Blessed Are The Pure In Heart," He Sang: Then Near Him As We Came, "Go Ye Not Further, Holy Spirits!" He Cried, "Ere The Fire Pierce You: Enter In; And List Attentive To The Song Ye Hear From Thence." [more]
