SatanO, what a marvel it appeared to me,When I beheld three faces on his head!The one in front, and that vermilion was;Two were the others, that were joined with thisAbove the middle part of either shoulder,And they were joined together at the crest;And the right-hand one seemed 'twixt white and yellow;The left was such to look upon as thoseWho come from where the Nile falls valley-ward.Underneath each came forth two mighty wings,Such as befitting were so great a bird;Sails of the sea I never saw so large.No feathers had they, but as of a batTheir fashion was; and he was waving them,So that three winds proceeded forth therefrom.Thereby Cocytus wholly was congealed.With six eyes did he weep, and down three chinsTrickled the tear-drops and the bloody drivel.At every mouth he with his teeth was crunchingA sinner, in the manner of a brake,So that he three of them tormented thus.
“By that hidden way My guide and I did enter, to return To the fair world...Till on our view the beautiful lights of HeavenDawn'd through a circular opening in the cave:Thence issuing we again beheld the stars.”
