(Auto-generated)
- "Son," thus spake the courteous guide,

All here together come from every clime,
And to o'erpass the river are not loth:
For so heaven's justice goads them on, that fear
Is turn'd into desire.†Canto 1.1-11wrath = extreme anger - But tell me this: they of the dull, fat pool,
Whom the rain beats, or whom the tempest drives,
Or who with tongues so fierce conflicting meet,
Wherefore within the city fire-illum'd
Are not these punish'd, if God's wrath be on them?†Canto 1.1-11 - O foolish wrath!†

New pains, new executioners of wrath,
That swarming peopled the first chasm.†Canto 1.12-22 - Meanwhile, as thus I sung, he, whether wrath
Or conscience smote him, violent upsprang
Spinning on either sole.†Canto 1.12-22 - From Valdimagra, drawn by wrathful Mars,
A vapour rises, wrapt in turbid mists,
And sharp and eager driveth on the storm
With arrowy hurtling o'er Piceno's field,
Whence suddenly the cloud shall burst, and strike
Each helpless Bianco prostrate to the ground.†Canto 1.23-34wrathful = full of extreme anger - He replied: "Within
Ulysses there and Diomede endure
Their penal tortures, thus to vengeance now
Together hasting, as erewhile to wrath.†Canto 1.23-34wrath = extreme anger - "The' old mastiff of Verruchio and the young,
That tore Montagna in their wrath, still make,
Where they are wont, an augre of their fangs.†Canto 1.23-34 - The teacher paus'd,
And to that shade I spake, who bitterly
Still curs'd me in his wrath.†Canto 1.23-34
