CANTO XXXIII
The desperate grief, which wrings my heart already | 5 |
I know not who thou art, nor by what mode | 10 |
Now I will tell thee why I am such a neighbour. | 15 |
That is to say, how cruel was my death, | 20 |
Had shown me through its opening many moons | 25 |
For which the Pisans cannot Lucca see. | 30 |
The father and the sons, and with sharp tushes | 35 |
Cruel indeed art thou, if yet thou grieve not, | 40 |
And through his dream was each one apprehensive; | 45 |
They wept; and darling little Anselm mine | 50 |
As now a little glimmer made its way | 55 |
Of eating, on a sudden they uprose, | 60 |
That day we all were silent, and the next. | 65 |
