Venice - Dante visited Venice shortly before his death ( & Soviet Photos Link)


     

"Day was departing and the dusk drew on,
Loosing from labour every living thing
Save me, in all the world; I -I alone -
Must gird me to the wars - rough traveling,

And pity's sharp assault upon the heart - "

Inferno, Canto II, Dante Alighieri
(trans. Dorthy L. Sayers)







Helen sent me this link, we loved the photos.
