Forgot how lovely this all reads. I can only imagine what it is like in Italian.
"So vicious is avarice's nature, so ill bent
she never stuffs her ravenous will enough.
but after feeding hungers all the more.
Many a living soul takes her to wife.
and many shall, until the Greyhound comes,
he who will make her die in misery." (I.97-102)

"Vengeance of God! How much should you be feared
by everyone who reads my tale and learns
of what was made so clear before my eyes!
For there I saw great flocks of naked souls
mightily weeping in their misery,
subject, apparently, to different rules...
So the eternal fire descended here,
sparking the sand like fuel beneath the flint,
doubling the sorrows of the damned." (14.16-22; 37-39)

"Your art strives to follow, as it may,
Nature - you are the pupil, she the teacher.
So we might say that human industry
Is the grandchild of God. From these two things --
remember the first part of Genesis --
man must derive his life & his advance,
And since the usurer takes a different path,
setting his hope in something else, he sins,
despising Nature and her follower." (11.103-111)

Stuck in the mire they say: 'Sullen we were
up in the sweet air gladdened by the sun,
bearing a sluggish smoke within our hearts." (7.121-123)
