The Divine Comedy

And his will is our peace.

I saw within Its depth how It conceives

all things in a single volume bound by Love,

of which the universe is the scattered leaves.

Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

When I had journeyed half of our life's way,

I found myself within a shadowed forest,

for I had lost the path that does not stray.

And his will is our peace.
