Description
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Before me things created were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here."
From Dante's "Divine Comedy"
Dante Alighieri wrote this allegorical epic poem
between 1306 and 1321. Virgil is the guide who takes
the reader through the author's examination of the afterlife.
It travels through the Inferno (Hell), the Purgatorio (Purgatory),
and the Paradiso (Heaven).
But all is not hopeless ! ohhh no, not even close :o)
....gotta leave you all with a (hopefully) smile....
Y'all have a great day *S*

"This girl came up to me in a bar and told me
that my socks didn't match.
I said, 'yes they do. I go by thickness.'"

This reminds a bit of that Robin Williams/Annabella Sciorra/Cuba Gooding movie, What Dreams May Come. No situation is completely hopeless. Excellent artwork, concept, and exposition. Well done Ms. Sun. Hugs!!!

Very thought provoking and unique. It is dark, but being the optimist I am, I sure a spot of light will shine in and change the hopeless feeling. ;o) Very well done. Bunny
