“Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.

Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”
― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: The Inferno, the Purgatorio and the Paradiso

“A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke”
