The New Life (La Vita Nuova)

by Dante Alighieri

Or fu sì fatta la sembianza vostra?” etc.

[32.] This we may believe to have been the Vision of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, which furnished the triple argument of the Divina Commedia. The Latin words ending the Vita Nuova are almost identical with those at the close of the letter in which Dante, on concluding the Paradise, and accomplishing the hope here expressed, dedicates his great work to Can Grande della Scala.

[33.] “Who is blessed throughout all ages.”
