About me:
"through me you pass into the city of woe:
through me you pass into eternal pain:
through me among the people lost for aye.
justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
to rear me was the task of power divine,
supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
before me things create were none, save things
eternal, and eternal I endure.
all hope abandon ye who enter here.
such characters in colour dim I mark'd
over a portal's lofty arch inscrib'd:
whereat I thus: Master, these words import"
