The divine Dante

At 700, Dante’s Divine Comedy is as modern as ever – a lesson in spiritual intelligence that makes us better at being alive

The divine comedy by Dante Alighieri at PG:
gutenberg.org/ebooks/8800

Dante and Beatrice before the eagle of Justice from Dante’s Divina Commedia, illustrated by Giovanni di Paolo (c1444-50). A medieval illuminated manuscript painting on a rich blue background, depicting two robed figures in flowing pink and blue garments floating beside an extraordinary eagle whose entire body, wings, and feathers are composed of dozens of small human faces. The gold-leaf bordered miniature illustrates a scene from Dante's "Paradiso," showing Dante and Beatrice encountering the eagle symbolizing divine Justice. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Giovanni_di_Paolo_(1444-50)_Paradiso_34,_Dante_and_Beatrice_before_the_eagle_of_Justice._British_Library.jpg

        “All the world’s a stage”—Shakespeare’s Jaques compares life to a play, moving through seven ages from “infant” to “second childishness… oblivion.” The phrase echoes older classical ideas and predates Shakespeare’s Globe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_ 📜🎭

                                          Long ago, I had a conversation with an exceptional man who believes humans are basically stupid. He said the few smart one's job is to look out for the rest.

                                          The pronouncement made me cringe. Even the sound of 'stupid' is .

                                          I politely objected. "Misled, yes. Misguided, maybe. We're pure untapped potential," I said.

                                                    The cover of The Devil's Alphabet by Daryl Gregory, featuring art by David Stevenson, presents a centered, symmetrical close-up of a human face integrated into a cracked, parchment-like surface. The title, "THE devil's alphabet," is rendered in a large, black, stylized serif font with jagged edges, spanning the upper and middle sections: "THE" sits at the top, "devil's" overlays the eyes and nose, and "alphabet" rests below the mouth. The pale face is covered in a dense network of fine, dark cracks resembling parched earth or shattered ceramic. The skin and background share a monochromatic, cream-to-off-white tone, creating a unified texture. Striking patches of deep red surround the wide, dark, staring eyes and the corners of the mouth, evoking themes of distress, madness, or decay. These crimson areas contrast sharply against the de-saturated palette. At the bottom, a dark, horizontal band with a deep-grooved wood-grain texture holds the author's details. On the left, "DARYL GREGORY" is printed in a large, metallic gold, serif font. On the right, a smaller, stark white, serif font reads: "William L. Crawford / Award-winning author / of Pandemonium." The lighting is flat and even, emphasizing the raised texture of the fissures and the raw redness around the facial features.

A man wearing a wide-brimmed dark brown hat and a heavy tunic layered with a bright red cape leans forward over a woman, his body angled downward as he holds a metallic silver dagger with a pointed tip directed toward her torso with his fingers wrapped tightly around the hilt. The woman, wears a white sleeveless top paired with a dark, patterned skirt featuring intricate shapes and heavy, overlapping folds. She is reclined on the ground with her arms bent and her hands pressed firmly against her chest, while her head is tilted backward to expose her neck. The ground beneath them is composed of patches of green moss and dark brown earth, with small tufts of dry, yellowish grass interspersed among the dirt. In the upper right background is a gnarled brown tree that extends into the space, its bark textured with deep, dark ridges. The surrounding environment is sparse, focusing on the interaction between the two figures and the tree. The illustration utilizes a palette of saturated red, stark white, deep brown, black, and pale grey, set against a solid red backdrop that encompasses the edges of the scene.
