Dante and Florence


"But I will make another tongue arise
As lofty and more sweet, in which expressed 
The hero’s ardour, or the lover’s sighs,
Shall find alike such sounds for every theme
That every word, as brilliant as thy skies 
Shall realise a Poet’s proudest dream"


from The Prophecy of Dante
Lord Byron
