Fire line from canto 23
“In the turning season of the youthful year, when the sun is warming his rays beneath Aquarius and the days and nights already begin to near
their perfect balance; the hoar-frost copies then the image of his white sister on the ground, but the first sun wipes away the work of his pen.”

Virgil scolding Dante for feeling pity… the gworls are fightingg 😬

The symbolism of the ancient giant in canto 14… wow. A giant in a mountain made out of different metals to symbolize the different eras in history?? The crack in the metal symbolizing man’s decline?? The fact that he’s leaning most of his weight on the weakest part of his body?? A lot to unpack and I’m excited to dive into all the historical context but even at a surface level it’s so amazing.

Left off in layer 7. The suicide forest really stuck with me 1, because of how elaborate the torture is and 2, it’s the first time the tortured soul seems mad he’s getting tortured. He almost scolds Dante for tearing one of the limbs. That’s never happened before. Idk if that means anything…
