THROUGH ME IS THE WAY INTO THE SUFFERING CITY;
THROUGH ME THE WAY INTO GRIEF ETERNAL;
THROUGH ME THE WAY AMONG LOST HUMANITY;
JUSTICE MOVED MY MAKER CELESTIAL;
I WAS CREATED BY THE DIVINE POWER,
BY THE SUPREME WISDOM, AND BY LOVE PRIMEVAL.
ONLY ETERNAL THINGS ARE OLDER *
THAN I; AND I WILL FOREVER ENDURE.
ABANDON EVERY HOPE, YOU WHO ENTER.
This last line is the most famous, and is often misquoted as "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". One of the focal points of literary study is the use of the expression "through me" which is repeated three times, and lays heavy emphasis that only through God can Dante be saved.
