A description of the experience
Dante – The Divine Comedy INFERNO I
CANTO XIII
Nessus had not yet reached the other side
When we set out to travel through a wood
Which had no path marked in it at all
The foliage not green, but of dark colour;
The branches not wholesome, but knotted and twisted
There were no apples but poisonous thorns
