Hey, wow --

[mayhap]

Someone else wrote Virgil/Dante!

Check it out -- Eternally Divided: A Missing Canto from Dante's Inferno by Heather Elizabeth Peterson

Very touching and not as, um, smutty as my initial take on the subject, and accompanied by a very nice historical note.

Yes, very touching.  More importantly, though, your smutty link doesn't seem to be working.

[mayhap]

Well, it works for me, but that's not very useful, is it? It's also here:

That's better!  And hey, I was in that Divine Comedy reading at Grace Church.  I can only presume it was my own stirring interpretation of Canto 43 of Purgatorio* that inspired you to such heights of literary accomplishment.

*Actually, I have barely a dim recollection of what it was I read.  Is there even a canto 43 in Purgatorio?  *shrugs*

[mayhap]

Yeah, canto 43 of Purgatorio is the deleted scene where Virgil and Dante have sex while Beatrice watches.

Muah, it only goes up to 33. But Inferno has 34.

All right, all right, I looked it up and it was canto 32 that I performed.  I knew it had to be one of the last cantos in Purgatorio because I had to wait freakin' forever for my turn, and the Cowboy Bebop movie came out that day and all I could think of was "I'm going to miss the last showing!"  Happy ending though, I caught the midnight show.  No happy ending, however, for those poor souls who had to stick around for Paradiso.

Mmmm, Cowboy Bebop movie. I my brother has it on DVD.
