About Me

"Midway in our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood. How shall I saywhat wood that was! I never saw so drear, so rank, so arduous a wilderness! Its very memory gives a shape to fear.Death could scarce be more bitter than that place! But since it came to good, I will recount all that I found revealed there by God's grace...." Inferno, Canto I, lines 1-9
