The Gate of Hell
The Gate of Hell, from The Inferno by Dante Alighieri
I am the way into the city of woe. Sacred justice moved my architect. Only those elements time cannot wear I am the way to a forsaken people.
I am the way to eternal sorrow.
I was raised here by divine omnipotence,
Primordial love and ultimate intelligence.
Were made before me, and beyond time I stand.
