A description of the experience
Dante – The Divine Comedy INFERNO I
CANTO XVI
I had a cord tied around my middle
The one with which I had thought at one time
I would capture the leopard with the mottled skin
When I had loosened it and taken it off
As my escort commanded me to do
I held it out to him, folded in a coil
Then he turned himself towards his right side
And standing back some distance from the edge
He threw it down the deep ravine
