The Divine Comedy
When wandering through the dark wood of my life, who is the guide that leads me?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Dante's opening line—that at thirty-five, about halfway through life, he lost his way in a dark wood—stirs a thrill in me no matter how often I read it. This grand journey, from Hell all the way to Heaven, is in the end a fierce record of how a man fallen into the abyss claws his way back up toward the light. It calls to mind a teacher like Virgil to lead me when I am lost, and a presence of love like Beatrice. If you long to forge hope at the very end of despair, you must open the first page of this epic.
