DPF / Homer

Fathers and sons, and journeys.

from The Odyssey / by Homer, trans. by Robert Fitzgerald

“I’ll go to try my father. Will he know me?
Can he imagine it, after twenty years?”

DPF / Dante

from The Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, Canto X / by Dante Alighieri

And in her mien this language had impressed,
“Ecce ancilla Dei,” as distinctly
As any figure stamps itself in wax.
