Inferno

Yes, that Inferno. I’ve got Pinsky’s English translation with the Italian on the facing page, because my Italian isn’t strong enough to make it on a go without English. That said, I’ve worked through the first canto, and I can see enough of what’s going on in the Italian to really see Dante’s poetic skill.

Once school is over, I’ll tackle this in earnest.
