Dante and Florence

 
"Day is departing, and the embrowned air
Released the animals that are on the earth
From their fatigues; and I the only one
Made myself ready to sustain the war, 
Both of the way and likewise of the woe,"

Inferno, Canto II, Dante Alighieri 
(trans. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
