The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, 147 But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
You are free subjects of a more immense
nature and power which grants you intellect
to free you from the heavens’ influence.
If, therefore, men today turn from God’s laws,
the fault is in yourselves to seek and find;
and I shall truly explicate the cause
Dante's Purgatario, Canto 16 (Ciardi translation)
