To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At first sight it may seem surprising that after so awfully setting before his reader the pains of Hell incurred by not forming or not fulfilling good purposes, Dante should fear turning him aside from any such purpose by setting before him his liability, notwithstanding, to the pains of Purgatory.
But as we have seen, 1 the subject of the Cantica is not restricted to the purgation of Souls after death ; it likewise exhibits the cleansing from sin and the substitution of good for evil habits in... life. Regarded in this light, the alter- native presented is not at first that between Hell and Pur- gatory, but that between the ease and pleasures of Vice on the one hand, and the toils and sufferings of resisting Vice on the other.
' Master,' began I, ' that which I behold Moving towards us seems to me not persons, And what I know not, so in sight I waver.' And he to me : ' The grievous quality Of this their torment bows them so to earth, That my own eyes at first contended with it ; But look there fixedly, and disentangle By sight what cometh underneath those stones ; Already canst thou see how each is stricken.' O ye proud Christians !
