Quizá cuando jóvenes
no se percata
la trascendencia de una acción.
Sólo como jóvenes
se puede condenar
a Paolo y Francesca.
"Rethoric, Dante sees, is not a pure art. In Inferno 5, Dante faints when Paolo and Francesca tell him they committed adultery under the influence of a book they have read. The power of language led two people to believe they were in love and commit a crime. Rethoric is a tool to manipulate and order historical consciousness. As Brunetto taught, rethoric is the medium for acting on the formlessness of the world, to make it a place of life. The task for Dante is to apply virtue to the words, so that the power of words does not prompt crimes, but instead promotes honor: a just state, a true soul." (Dante In Love, Harriet Rubin)
