The Schleiffen Man sat in his nightgown for three days and nights. trying to see if he could find what was right. had visions of gods and trees that persist. finally concluded, "I think, so I exist." cool daddy groove. 001014 ... Thyartshallshant Doesnt it mean devil? Ooooo, thats kinky. 001225 ... Thyartshallshant No, i correct myself. Dante was the guy who wrote the comedy about hell, right. The greek one or whatever. Yeah, thats it. 001226 ... j_blue i think dante had a thing for cross eyed chicks it was dante or descartes for sure 001227 ... literary birdmad descartes was the one who stated "Cogito Ergo Sum" I think, therefore, I am. Dante's epic poem is not a comedy in itself, at least not in the modern literalist sense of "funny" The Divine Comedy is comedy in the original greek dramatic sense that the main character/protagonist is not martyred or victimised to close the story (i.e. it has what passes for a happy ending) 001227 ... grendel oh, and Dante wasn't Greek, but Italian 001227 ... Thyartshallshant I knew that! *mumbels to himself* asshole. 001230 ... Lily Dante is amazing. He's Italian, and he wrote what's called "The Divine Comedy" which is about the personal spiritual journey, as well as that of humanity in general. He symbolically travels through Hell (Inferno), Puragory (Purgatorio) and Heaven (Paradiso), lead through by his love Beatrice (symbolizing Divine Love) and the Latin poet Virgil (symbolizing Human Reason.) He was also one of the first writers of the time (around 1300) to use the colloquial. What an amazing guy. 020507 ... Sailor Jupiter After reading Dante's "Inferno" I drew a map of Hell according to his descritions and sins. Then I would place people I knew and myself on where I'd think we'd end up.
