Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
ché la diritta via era smarrita.

Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
che nel pensier rinova la paura!

Tant'è amara che poco è più morte;
ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,
dirò de l'altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte.

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Seventh Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test (http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv)

Is that esperanto?

Nope. I once took many hours of Esperanto and even a three week summer course at SFSU. All in a desperate attempt to save a bad marriage.

In any case, I'm going to have to guess Italian.

It's Ye Olde Italian. I recognize the text because I happened to use it in this article I wrote.

Ahhhhh, I see.

Grazie for that "pearl" of wisdom. :-)

Dante, is that you?

Midway in the journey of our life

I came to myself in a dark wood,

for the straight way was lost.

Ah, how hard it is to tell

the nature of that wood, savage, dense and harsh --

the very thought of it renews my fear!

It is so bitter death is hardly more so.

But to set forth the good I found

I will recount the other things I saw.


Now now Dante, you get out of that inferno right now and wipe your shoes off before you come back into the house young man!
