Inferno (Italian)

...al loco ov'i' t'ho detto

che tu vedrai le genti dolorose

c'hanno perduto il ben de l'intelletto».

 E poi che la sua mano a la mia puose

con lieto volto, ond'io mi confortai,

mi mise dentro a le segrete cose.

 Quivi sospiri, pianti e alti guai

risonavan per l'aere sanza stelle,

per ch'io al cominciar ne lagrimai.

 Diverse lingue, orribili favelle,

parole di dolore, accenti d'ira,

voci alte e fioche, e suon di man con elle

 facevano un tumulto, il qual s'aggira

Inferno Canto03

...I spoke, 
where you will see the miserable people, 
those who have lost the good of the intellect." 


E poi che la sua mano a la mia puose 
con lieto volto, ond'io mi confortai, 
mi mise dentro a le segrete cose . 

And when, with gladness in his face, he placed 
his hand upon my own, to comfort me, 
he drew me in among the hidden things. 


Quivi sospiri, pianti e alti guai 
risonavan per l'aere sanza stelle, 
per ch'io al cominciar ne lagrimai .

My Lady

...ía
acá en el alma te vía,
acá en el alma te hablaba.

    Y en esta idea notable
dichosamenta vivía,
porque en mi mano tenia
el fingirte favorable.

    Con traza tan peregrina
vivió mi esperanza vana,
pues te pudo hacer humana
concibiéndote divina.

    ¡Oh, cuán loca llegué a verme
en tus dichosos amores,
que, aun fingidos, tus favroes
pudieron enloquecerme!

    ¡Oh, cómo, en tu sol hermoso
mi ardiente afecto encendido,
por cebarse en lo lucido,

Paradiso (Italian)

...nsato apprende
ci? che fa poscia d'intelletto degno.
 Per questo la Scrittura condescende
a vostra facultate, e piedi e mano
attribuisce a Dio, e altro intende;
 e Santa Chiesa con aspetto umano
Gabriel e Michel vi rappresenta,
e l'altro che Tobia rifece sano.
 Quel che Timeo de l'anime argomenta
non ? simile a ci? che qui si vede,
per? che, come dice, par che senta.
 Dice che l'alma a la sua stella riede,
credendo quella quindi esser decisa
quando natura per forma la diede;

Phyllis

...que, inocente,
aplica incauto los dedos
a la cuchilla, engañado
del resplandor del acero,

    y herida la tierna mano,
aún sin conocer el yerro,
más que el dolor de la herida
siente apartarse del reo;

    cual la enamorada Clicie
que, al rubio amante siguiendo,
siendo padre de las luces,
quiere eñsenarle adimientos;

    como a lo cóncavo el aire,
como a la materia el fuego,
como a su centro las peñas,
como a su fin los intentos;

Purgatorio (Italian)

...vele
omai la navicella del mio ingegno,
che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele;
 e canterò di quel secondo regno
dove l'umano spirito si purga
e di salire al ciel diventa degno.
 Ma qui la morta poesì resurga,
o sante Muse, poi che vostro sono;
e qui Caliopè alquanto surga,
 seguitando il mio canto con quel suono
di cui le Piche misere sentiro
lo colpo tal, che disperar perdono.
 Dolce color d'oriental zaffiro,
che s'accoglieva nel sereno aspetto
del mezzo, puro infino al prim...Read more of this...

Soneto

...Largo espectro de plata conmovida
el viento de la noche suspirando,
abri? con mano gris mi vieja herida
y se alej?: yo estaba deseando. 

Llaga de amor que me dar? la vida
perpetua sangre y pura luz brotando.
Grieta en que Filomela enmudecida

?Ay qu? dulce rumor en mi cabeza!
Me tender? junto a la flor sencilla
donde flota sin alma tu belleza. 

Y el agua errante se pondr? amarilla,
