which had already pierced me once
before I had outgrown my childhood, struck my eyes,

remains in me that does not tremble
I know the signs of the ancient flame.'

Virgil, sweetest of fathers,
Virgil, to whom I gave myself for my salvation.
And not all our ancient mother lost
could save my cheeks, washed in the dew,
from being stained again with tears. — Dante Alighieri
