Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World's Best Essays From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 4 of 10
To Dante it appeared that this development of individual realities goes on continually in the world around us. It is, however, the prov ince only of the highest genius to imagine it as Dante did. The eyes of others are mercifully holden, lest life should become in supportable to them by reason of such knowledge of evil. For even as Dante himself approached the castle of Dis, which overlooks the deeper hells of ?ame, he had raised against him the Gorgon's head which petrifies with horror all who come too close to the knowledge of what those hells actually are.
