"Per me si va ne la città dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:
fecemi la divina potestate,
la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate"
Official:
[Through me is the way to the city of woe,
Through me is the way to eternal pain,
Through me is the way to a lost people.
Justice moved my great Creator
Divine Power made me,
the Supreme Wisdom and the Primal Love.
Before me nothing else was created
nothing but the eternal, and I last eternally.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.]
Variant:
[Through me you go to the grief wracked city;
Through me you go to everlasting pain; Through me you go a pass among lost souls.
Justice inspired my exalted Creator:
I am a creature of the Holiest Power, of Wisdom in the Highest and of Primal Love.
Nothing till I was made was made, only eternal beings.
And I endure eternally.
Abandon all hope - You Who Enter Here]
~Gate of Hell, Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri~
