Inferno: Canto IX
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Dante Alighieri and Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
All of their coverings uplifted were, And from them issued forth such dire laments, Sooth seemed they of the wretched and tormented.
And I: “My Master, what are all those people Who, having sepulture within those tombs, Make themselves audible by doleful sighs?”
And he to me: “Here are the Heresiarchs, With their disciples of all sects, and much More than thou thinkest laden are the tombs.
Here like together with its like is buried; And more and less the monuments are heated.” And when he to the right had turned, we passed
Between the torments and high parapets.
