I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.”

And Ending with Paradiso
“Here vigour failed the lofty fantasy:
But now was turning my desire and will,
Even as a wheel that equally is moved,
The Love which moves the sun and the other stars.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy.
