Abandon all hope, ye who enter here! (words inscribed over the gates of Hell

There is in hell a place stone-built throughout, Called Malebolge, of an iron hue, Like to the wall that circles it about.

The path to paradise begins in hell.

You did thirst for blood, and with blood I fill you

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [It., Lasciate ogni speranza ch'entrate.]

Still desiring, we live without hope. [It., Senza speme vivemo in desio.]
