Finally mustered the energy to give a proper read through of the Commedia, *stelle* to *stelle*. Am currently at Purgatorio 24. Reading the Hollander translation (freely available online), along with splashes of their commentary, all while listening to the Italian audio (available on Spotify). Now, I can gush all on my lonesome, but that feels dumb. Hopefully y'all can turn this into a proper discussion xD
Sorta stalled at 24, btw, not because of any special difficulty, but because one of the shades Dante meets literally mentions "Donne ch'avete intelletto d'amore", one of the first Dante poems I read in full, and I absolutely adore that poem. Needless to say, I've wasted my time reading it over and over. xDt
