  1. Dante’s Inferno canto 1 lines 1-12Midway in our life’s journey, I went astrayfrom the straight road and woke to find myselfalone in a dark wood. How shall I say?what wood that was! I never saw so drear,so rank, so arduous a wilderness!Its very memory gives shape to fear.Death could scarce be more bitter than that place!But since it came to good, I will recountall that I found revealed there by God’s grace.How I came to it I cannot rightly say,so drugged and loose with sleep had I becomewhen I first wandered there from the True Way.How can we read these lines literally and figuratively?
