Ancient World

Episode 35 - Inferno, Canto 2


Listen Later

We continue our journey from the beginning of the Comedy, and in this episode we look at Canto 2 where Dante is convinced by his guide Virgil that he can start this endeavor with support from the Heavens. This warms his heart, and he finds courage in the following passage:


As little flowers from the frosty night
 are closed and limp, and when the sun shines down on them, 
  they rise to open on their stem,

my wilted strength began to bloom within me


Verse 127-131.
