Dentro li 'ntrammo sanz' alcuna guerra; We entered Dis without a conflict,<br />
e io, ch'avea di riguardar disio and I gazed around, as soon as I as was inside,<br />
la condizion che tal fortezza serra, eager to know what punishment<br />

com' io fui dentro, l'occhio intorno invio: the place enclosed, and saw<br />
e veggio ad ogne man grande campagna, on all sides a vast plain<br />
piena di duolo e di tormento rio. full of pain and vile torment.<br />

INF C9 112-126 / KLINE<br />
As at Arles, where the Rhone stagnates, or Pola, near the Gulf of Quarnaro, that confines Italy, and bathes its coast,<br />
the sepulchres make the ground uneven, so they did here, all around, only here the nature of it was more terrible.<br />
Flames were scattered amongst the tombs, by which they were made so red-hot all over, that no smith’s art needs<br />
hotter metal. Their lids were all lifted, and such fierce groans came from them, that, indeed, they seemed to be those<br />
of the sad and wounded. And I said: ‘Master, who are these people, entombed in those vaults, who make themselves<br />
known by tormented sighing?’<br />

E quelli a me: «Qui son li eresïarche And he to me: Here are the arch-heretics,<br />
con lor seguaci, d'ogne setta, e molto with their followers, of every sect: and the tombs<br />
più che non credi son le tombe carche. contain many more than you might think.<br />
INF C9 130-132 / DANTE<br />
Simile qui con simile è sepolto, Here like is buried with like,<br />
e i monimenti son più e men caldi». and the monuments differ in degrees of heat.<br />
E poi ch'a la man destra si fu vòlto, Then after turning to the right,<br />

«O virtù somma, che per li empi giri I began: ‘O, summit of virtue, who leads me round<br />
mi volvi», cominciai, «com' a te piace, through the circles of sin, as you please,<br />
parlami, e sodisfammi a' miei disiri. speak to me, and satisfy my longing.<br />
