And then looking beyond them,I could see a crowd 

along the bank of a great river;

at which I said:

"Allow me now to know

who are these people -master- and what law

has made them so eager for the crossing,

as I can see despite the feeble light".

E poi ch'a riguardar oltre mi diedi,

vidi genti a la riva d'un gran fiume;

per ch'io dissi: Maestro, or mi concedi

ch,i' sappia quali sono, e qual costume

le fa di repassar parer si pronte,

com'i' discerno per lo fioco lume."

from Canto III 25

The Divine Comedy

Of Dante Alighieri
