6 Non ragioniam di lor, ma guarda e passa (Dante’s
Purgatorio, iii. 51). The allusion is to the souls of
those who led useless and idle lives on earth, supporting
neither the Divinity by the observance of virtue, nor the
spirit of evil by the practice of vice. They are thus cast
out both from heaven and hell.—Ed.
