A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

December 188-. Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita In the midway of this our mortal life HIS line, wherewith Dante begins the first canto of his Divina Commedia, steals into my thoughts to-night, possibly for the hundredth time. But never until to-night has it really touched my heart. Yet now how intently I ponder it in my mind; how gravely beautiful it seems; how full of meaning. The reason is that now for the first time I can apply its meaning to myself. I, too, have reached the point where Dante stood when the old sun set upon the first year of the fourteenth century. I, too, am in the middle of lifes journey if, indeed, that journey were the same for all, and if for all old age were its goal. Ah me! I knew twenty years since that it would come to this. I knew it, yes, but I did not realise it. In those days I recked as little about the way of life as about the way to Chicago.
