Both Uses of
circuitous
in
The Divine Comedy -- translated by Cary
- Compassing that path
Circuitous we journeyed, and discourse
Much more than I relate between us pass'd:
Till at the point, where the steps led below,
Arriv'd, there Plutus, the great foe, we found.†Canto 1.1-11 *circuitous = indirect
- In her circuitous course,
Nature, that is the seal to mortal wax,
Doth well her art, but no distinctions owns
'Twixt one or other household.†Canto 3.1-11
Definition:
