Book: "INFERNO OF DANTE" a new verse translation by ROBERT PINSKY

"Your image--dear, fatherly benevolent--
Being fixed inside my memory, has imbued
My heart: when in the fair world, hour by hour
You taught me, patiently, it was you who showed
The way man makes himself eternal; therefore,
The gratitude I feel toward you makes fit
That while I live, I should declare it here."

Wow....deep...

*I can't say much about the geologist though because I had also been dating a returned missionary at the same time who broke it off when she went to BYU for the spring semester.
