In canto 1 of Dante’s Purgatorio, he stands on the shore and looks up. The mountain towers over him, but this time he does not run away. We have left the desolation of Inferno behind. But before we climb, four stars remind us of the core, “cardinal” virtues that we each must cultivate.
In Inferno 1, Dante doesn't know where to turn... he's lost in a dark wood, and needs help.
