Dante and the Lion in the Dark Wood (Engraving by Gustave Doré):

                                     —and then I shook with dread
at sight of a great Lion that broke upon me
raging with hunger, it enormous head

held high as if to strike a mortal terror
into the very air.   (I, 43-47)

Caiaphas (Engraving by Gustave Doré):

                                     —and then I saw
a figure crucified upon the ground
by three great stakes and I fell still in awe.   (XXIII, 106-108)
