Canto XV
While crossing the Sand upon the dyke banking Phlegethon, Dante sees the Violent against Nature, who run perpetually, looking towards the human body against which they offended. He meets his old teacher, Brunetto Latini, whom he addresses with affection, regret and deep gratitude for past benefits. Brunetto predicts Dante's ill-treatment at the hands of the Florentines.
Canto XVI
Dante is already within earshot of the waterfall at the end of the path, when he meets the shades of three distinguished Florentine noblemen and gives them news of their city. At the edge of the cliff, Virgil throws Dante's girdle into the gulf below, and in answer to this signal a strange form comes swimming up towards them.
So have a bit of a cough hanging on still, but overall, we're all doing much better. And, in case you're curious, my knee is slowly improving. I still have a good deal of recovery to go, but each new week is now the best week I've had since last November.
And now they're coming for churches. Curiously, I haven't heard of any mosques or synagogues coming under attack recently. Probably just a coincidence. God be with you. May this country return to truth and to God, and may God save us.
