Canto XIII
Quando si parte lanima feroce dal corpo ond ella stessa sè disvelta, Minòs la manda a la settima foce. Cade in la selva, e non lè parte scelta; ma là dove fortuna la balestra, quivi germoglia come gran di spelta. Surge in vermena e in pianta silvestra: lArpie, pascendo poi de le sue foglie, fanno dolore, e al dolor fenestra. |

Thirteenth Chance When ferocious animals part from their corpses, a stillness is felt, and the bull in the man is set in focus. Code of selves, anonymous skeletons, evil fortune of doves -- the baleful quiver of germs is spelled out by grains, vermin surge through the slivered plantain and the harpies pass by in the fog to the sadness of fans at their windows. |
