"Земную Жизнь Пройдя До Половины..."

"Midway Upon The Journey of Our Life..."

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita, 
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, 
ché la diritta via era smarrita.

Inferno Canto I, lineas 1-3

When I had journeyed half of our life's way, 
I found myself within a shadowed forest, 
for I had lost the path that does not stray.

Земную жизнь пройдя до половины, 
Я очутился в сумрачном лесу, 
Утратив правый путь во тьме долины.
