Canto XXVIII quotes

View Quote And one his limb transpierced, and one lopped off,⁠Should show, it would be nothing to compare⁠With the disgusting mode of the ninth Bolgia.A cask by losing centre-piece or cant⁠Was never shattered so, as I saw one⁠Rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind.Between his legs were hanging down his entrails;⁠His heart was visible, and the dismal sack⁠That maketh excrement of what is eaten.While I was all absorbed in seeing him,⁠He looked at me, and opened with his hands⁠His bosom, saying: "See now how I rend me;How mutilated, see, is Mahomet;⁠In front of me doth Ali weeping go,⁠Cleft in the face from forelock unto chin;And all the others whom thou here beholdest,⁠Disseminators of scandal and of schism⁠While living were, and therefore are cleft thus.
