Canto XVII, Paradisio








Tu proverai sì come sa di sale
lo pane altrui, e come è duro calle
lo scendere e’l salir per l’altrui scale.

You will experience how salty tastes the bread
of another, and what a hard path it is to descend
and mount by another's stair.

-Canto XVII, Paradisio

In Absentia

This weekend we will be visiting Rome to see Dante-related landmarks there. In my absence, I am posting this cute little guy-not sure what mythical beast he is but he forms part of a column base in the Duomo in Siena. If you know what he is, let me know. (his somewhat confused expression suggests that he's not too sure himself about the whole identity thing).
