from The Inferno--Canto XXIV (46-51)
Dante (tr. John Ciardi)"Up on your feet! This is no time to tire!"
my Master cried. "The man who lies asleep
will never waken fame, and his desireand all his life drift past him like a dream,
and the traces of his memory fade from time
like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream. . . ."
