如果我能够超越疯狂，我写的这本书将会以但丁《神曲》的地狱篇中最后一行作为开篇：“彼时，我们一同走出来，再看一次繁星吧。”

If I manage to outgrow this current madness, the book that I write will open with the last line of Dante's Inferno: "And then we came out to see once more the stars."

《神曲》的故事简介如下：孤独的朝圣者但丁，迷失在昏暗的树林中，于是由罗马诗人维吉尔指引来到了地狱，目睹那些被诅咒者的悲惨命运，此后又经过炼狱，在结尾诗篇来到了天堂。

Here is the story, in brief. A lonely pilgrim—it is Dante himself—strays into a dark wood, and is guided by the Roman poet Virgil down into Hell to contemplate the harrowing fate of the damned.

所有这一切看起来就像是但丁《神曲》中的《地狱篇》。

It all looks like something out of Dante's Inferno.

Finally, Dante alludes to this image of the Virgilian underworld in The Inferno when he describes the descent of humanity, the evil seed of Adam, into the Christian hell.

最后，但丁又在中描述到人性的败坏,亚当在基督教的地狱中撒下的邪恶种子时，含沙射影了维吉尔关于地狱的描写。
