"When the mind returned, which closed itself before the pity of these two kinsfolk, that had all confounded
me with sadness, new forments and new tormented souls I see around me wherever I move, and howsoever
turn, and wherever I gave. I am in the third circle, that of the rain eternal, accursed, cold, and heavy. Its role
and quality are never new. Coarse hail, and foul water and show your down through the (murky) air, the
Earth that receives them stinks. Cerberus, a beast cruel and monstrous, with three throats barks dogjike
above the people that are here submerged. He has (red) eyes, and a greasy and black bead, and a big, belly,
and hands armed with claws he tears the spirits, flays them, and rends."
