~ The Fume of the Marsh (Gates, Hell)
“i say,
continuing, that,
long before
we were at the foot of the high tower,
our eyes went upward to its top
because of two flamelets
that we saw set there,
and another giving signal back
from so far that hardly could the eye reach it.
and i turned me
to the sea of all wisdom;
i said, "this one, what says it?
and what answers that other fire?
and who are they that make it?"
and he to me,
"upon the foul waves
already thou mayest discern
that which is expected,
if the fume of the marsh
hide it not from thee."
