(Also some Italian comrade please translate this for me. I am not on Marx's level).

I like that other Dante line that TS Eliot uses in The Waste Land: Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina / he embraced the fire that refines him. It's a good absurdist maxim for when you're trying to explain to someone that it's fun that you're caught in an alpine hail storm 10 miles from the trailhead.
