"Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
" »Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
