Canto Xiii Quotes

“Not foliage green, but of a fusk colour,
Not branches smooth, but gnarled and intertangled
not apple-tress were there, but thorns with poison.”
― Dante Alighieri, Inferno

“and there the stories
Of martyrs awed, as Spagnoletto tainted
His brush with all the blood of all the sainted.”
― George Gordon Byron
