Then I attempt to ease my own malaise,
and thus death-pale, fatigued and torn apart,
I go to glimpse you, hopeful I’ll be whole.
And if I lift my eyes so I can gaze,
a seismic shaking starts within my heart
that chases from my pulse my very soul.

[Poscia mi sforzo, ché mi voglio atare;
e così smorto, d’onne valor voto,
vegno a vedervi, credendo guerire:
e se io levo li occhi per guardare,
nel cor mi si comincia uno tremoto,
che fa de’ polsi l’anima partire.]

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Italian poet
La Vita Nuova [Vita Nova; New Life], ch. 16 / Sonnet 7, ll. 9-14 (c. 1294, pub. 1576) [tr. Frisardi (2012), ch. 9]

A quotation from Dante

The moment I saw her I say in all truth that the vital spirit, which dwells in the inmost depths of the heart, began to tremble so violently that I felt the vibration alarmingly in all my pulses, even the weakest of them. As it trembled, it uttered these words: Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur mihi [Behold a god more powerful than I who comes to rule over me].

[In quello punto dico veracemente che lo spirito de la vita, lo quale dimora ne la secretissima camera de lo cuore, cominciò a tremare sì fortemente, che apparia ne li menimi polsi orribilmente; e tremando disse queste parole: «Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur michi»]

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Italian poet
La Vita Nuova [Vita Nova; New Life], ch. 2 (c. 1294, pub. 1576) [tr. Reynolds (1969)]

«
The fact is that in order to do any thing in this world worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

"The album title — ‘Immunity' — reflected the 'experience of Covid and wanting to be immune from this,' as well as the idea that the world is interconnected and people need to depend on each other.

“'I am trying to really remind myself that you don’t know what comes later,' he said. 'Now is all you ever have.’”

«
Not one drop of blood
is left inside my veins that does not throb:
I recognize signs of the ancient flame.

[Men che dramma
di sangue m’è rimaso, che non tremi;
conosco i segni de l’antica fiamma.]
