No man could write of the infernal
regions with such vividness as Dante
and not think and feel melancholy.
Thinking, feeling and writing of such
things are bound to have an influence
on one's features, and it is most strik
ing in Dante.
If you have never seen one, the very
next time you visit a museum hunt
op a picture of Dante, author of “In
ferno.” You will see that his nose
turns downward —points straight to
his toes. What do you get from that?
The optimistic man, one who radi
ates sunshine, does not have a nose
that turns downward. Don't invite
the sad thinker, for he will be the
death and not the life of the party.
