What a kind, loving, compassionate injunction to Dante. Keep it in mind if you find yourself berating yourself.Â
And if you are experiencing grief, I hope you find the means to unload it soon.Â
Â
“Much greater faults than yours are washed away
By much less shame,” my Master said. “Unload
Your heart of all grief…”Â
