Okay, just got a copy of Divine Comedies out of the library. Will see how it goes.

This poem combined with this piece of biography is a hell of a thing:

Yes.This is typescript version—w/ it’s “ornament” on top & “trunk”of still alive but felled evergreen.The missing “other”half is what haunted me.I think the reasons are obvious as one enters the“after”life...what’s in the “other”side of which this side is the shadow, the poem? https://t.co/RWaXeKpWKt
