Dante is for the strong minded.I think when a man loves a woman he should see her like this..
"So gentle and virtuous she appears"
So gentle and virtuous she appears,
My lady, when greeting other people
That every tongue tremblingly grows silent,
And eyes do not dare gaze upon her.
She passes by, hearing herself praised,
Graciously clothed with humility,
And she appears to be a creature who has come
From heaven to earth to show forth a miracle.
She shows herself so pleasing to her beholders,
That she gives through the eyes a sweetness to the heart,
Which no one can understand who does not feel it;
And it appears that from her lip moves
A tender spirit full of love,
Which says again and again to the soul: "Sigh."
It is very fitting that for a while, for the last year or so...long before i got this sent to me (and until i did receive this) i thought i would turn out to be like a lady praised in verse of another Divine Comedy..THE Divine Comedy.
Thank the universe, i was wrong..
