I do not think that there was greater fear in Phaethon when he let his reins go free—for which the sky, as one still sees, was scorched—nor in poor Icarus when he could feel his sides unwinged because the wax was melting, his father shouting to him, “That way’s wrong!” than there was in me… (Inf. 17.106-12)

To understand the meaning of the Dante quote and the images below, read the latest chapter.

“And what will be most hard for you to bear

will be the scheming, senseless company…

Of their insensate acts, the proof will be

in the effects.”

(Par. 17.61–2, 67–68)

Chapter ten excerpt:

It's a quick walk down streets that are little more than alleys littered with mopeds; people stop talking to stare as they go by. Colourful laundry hangs from clotheslines that cross the narrow gap between tall buildings, most of these in a startling state of disrepair. Even though the sun doesn’t reach the stone streets, the heat is oppressive, much more humid than Rome. The noise is jarring, too. The rattling roar of window air-conditioners provides a mocking soundtrack to the sweat dripping down John’s back.

Thanks for reblogging, truly. 😍

I'll start posting a new fic Thursday, with a chapter every week until the inevitable happy ending!

"Welcome to Flirty Dancing, where we take two potential romantic partners and teach each of them their half of a choreographed dance. Then they meet, they dance, and then walk away – all without saying a word."

Let me know if you want to be tagged, or untagged!

“He who decides without distinguishing Must be among the most obtuse of men; Opinion—hasty—often can incline To the wrong side, and then affection for One’s own opinion binds, confines the mind.”  (Par. 13.116–120)
