• En cierto modo, también es un reconocimiento de que Dante necesita a Virgilio y de que el Infierno necesita a la Eneida y de que la epopeya necesita un modelo y de que, para escribir este gran poema, Dante necesita que alguien le preceda y recurre al texto de Virgilio, especialmente al libro sexto, en el que Eneas desciende a los infiernos. Y para mí, ése es un modelo de la relación del poeta con la poesía anterior, con otra poesía como pidiendo guía.

• Whatever the poets pretend, it is plain they give immortality to none but themselves; it is Homer and Virgil we reverence and admire, not Achilles or Aeneas. With historians it is quite the contrary; our thoughts are taken up with the actions, persons, and events we read, and we little regard the authors.
