my talent's little vessel lifts her sails,
leaving behind herself a sea so cruel;
and what I sing will be that second kingdom,
in which the human soul is cleansed of sin,
becoming worthy of ascent to Heaven.”
― The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, Volume 2: Purgatorio

A biological process,

"Now, at least, I have shocked him.”
