Our pilgrim, Dante, has finished his righteous rant. And after rage comes Virgil. More importantly, Virgil's embrace.
The pilgrim ends the canto in the arms of his poetic master. A curious ending to a curious canto.
Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we finish off Inferno, Canto XIX, ready to move on with the next steps of our pilgrim.
Here are the segments of this podcast episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:
[01:21] My English translation of the passage: Inferno, Canto XIX, Lines 118 - 133. If you'd like to read along, check out this passage on my website: markscarbrough.com.
[02:39] The rant is surrounded by words about music--and thus, about poetry. What does that tell us about Dante-the-poet's attitude toward this passage?
[06:24] Why is Virgil so pleased with Dante? Because Comedy completes the work of The Aeneid.
[11:42] One last passing slap at the popes in hell: "goats."
