which had already pierced me once
before I had outgrown my childhood, struck my eyes,
I turned to my left with the confidence

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

could save my cheeks, washed in the dew,
from being stained again with tears. — Dante Alighieri
