Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.
Belonging in the company of the works of Homer and Virgil, The Inferno is a moving human drama, a journey through the torment of Hell, an expression of the Middle Ages, and a protest against the ways in which men have thwarted the divine plan.
Beginning: "Midway in our life's journey, I went astray
from the straight road and woke to find myself
alone in a dark wood."
56: "And he to me: "Your own city, so rife
with hatred that the bitter cup flowers over
was mine to in that other, clearer life."
Comments: One of my blogging goals of 2022 is to read The Divine Comedy. I started at the beginning with Inferno, and I liked it. I'm really looking forward to The Purgatorio. What are you reading this week?
