Out of the dense blanket smoke was dusk behind the mountain, along with the wonderful song of a nightingale to sky Then comes Aman, set to a cross for having killed the right
Dante describes the souls of the penitents who run shouting back and forth, they can not stop because that is their penance One of the characters is Aman, minister of the Persian king Ahasuerus crucified for having wanted to kill the just Mordecai uncle of Queen Esther, episode taken from the Book of Esther of the Old Testament (in which Aman is hanged).
And what about the anger of a mother, taken to death not to see her daughter hold as wife by the wrong embrace? Light! nothing more, the descending angel of bliss
After concluding his explanation, Virgil looks Dante in the eye to see if he is satisfied; he does not speak in order not to be inappropriate, but Virgil understands his desire to ask other questions and encourages him. Dante then, thanking Virgilio for all his teachings, begs him to clarify what is love, which in the previous song has been identified as the origin of every good or bad act.
Lord gave us a loving soul; our mind is taken by world around and turn our soul toward: that's what we call Love. But not all seals are good, even if wax is
Virgilio explains that the soul is created with the predisposition to love; the mind is struck by external reality, it turns the soul towards it, and if that reality is beautiful and pleasant, the soul feels love. Then, as the fire by its nature tends upward, so the soul is naturally driven to desire the beloved object and find no peace until he does not own it. Men often fall into error as they believe that any love is praiseworthy in itself: the faculty to love is good; but it is not always its concrete realizations (as well as not all of them the seals are good, even if the wax is good).
NO MAN, NOR GOD WAS WITHOUT LOVE. WHEN FELT IS ALWAYS RIGHT, CHOSEN MAY NOT. ONLY UNTIL GOD IS THE SPARK, LOVE WILL NOT FAIL
No creature (that is, no man), like his Creator (God), was never without love, love that can be of two kinds: "natural" or "of soul". In the first case it is instinctive and therefore always right; in the second case it is of choice, of will, that is, chosen by the subject: this love can therefore be wrong, for three different reasons: it can sin by "malo obietto", that is, because As long as love is directed to the First Good, that is to God, and is kept in the right limits towards other goods, it can not err, but when it turns to evil or exceeds the measure (too much or too little), then the creature works against the Creator.
master wiped out all my doubts, I was almost loosing me thinking back to answers he gave but peace has yet to come here screams! and stomping crazy horde running for faster find its peace
we were parted, after the chaos I saw him taking his way on: should I reach him? he turned, stern, pointing two souls, guilty as me of sloth: this remembered me of not being free by sins yet
Virgil has now responded to his doubts, and he is in a state of torpor, but is suddenly interrupted by a large crowd of souls that comes up behind him running furiously, like the multitudes of the Theban who invoked Bacchus. The first two souls crying cry out examples of solicitude: Mary who goes to visit Elizabeth, and Julius Caesar who during the civil war moves quickly from Marseilles to Spain to hit the Pompeii. The others add, always shouting, exhortations to the speed of expiation, so as to solicit divine grace. Meanwhile, the soul that claims to be an abbot goes away, and Dante does not know if he has finished speaking or not; Virgilio invites him to pay attention to two souls who cry out examples of punished sloth: the Jews were too weak to follow Moses, who did not come to see the Jordan, and the Trojans who instead of following Enea stopped in Sicily.
"Poi quando fuor da noi tanto divise quell'ombre, che veder più non potiersi, novo pensiero dentro a me si mise, del qual più altri nacquero e diversi; e tanto d'uno in altro vaneggiai, che li occhi per vaghezza ricopersi, e ‘l pensamento in sogno trasmutai.
