The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri

Through me you go into a city of weeping;
through me you go into eternal pain;
through me you go amongst the lost people
Dante Alighieri, The Inferno

Each sin's punishment in Inferno is a contrapasso, a symbolic instance of poetic justice; for example, in Canto XX, fortune‐tellers and soothsayers must walk with their heads on backwards, unable to see what is ahead, because that was what they had tried to do in life:
Divine Comedy, WikiPedia

they had their faces twisted toward their haunches
and found it necessary to walk backward,
because they could not see ahead of them.
… and since he wanted so to see ahead,
he looks behind and walks a backward path.
The Divine Comedy. Inferno ‐ Canto XX, Dante Alighieri

In the middle of the journey of our life
I found myself within a dark woods
where the straight way was lost.
Dante Alighieri, Inferno

Adagio for Strings, HAUSER

Trois Gymnopedies, Erik Satie

Emanuel, Kristina Cooper

John, your render is an excellent visualization of a part of the Italian narrative poem 'Divina Commedia' by Dante Alighieri.
With the danger that I'm boring, I like to repeat that the quotes and music links are perfectly chosen again! Very well done again!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

Dante's Inferno made beautiful ! He went to heaven in the end and it looks like he and Virgil are hurrying towards it in this image, and even look like they may be walking backwards. This image is exceptional !
The Hauser is haunting

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
