Very much still in copyright. This means I have to quote the English translation lines from a much older translation

Seriously, three lines of Mandelbaum is out of fair use? Man.

Chop the new stuff out. Which I will do, because I respect his opinion as much as that of almost any living author.

Accompanying chapbook?

They get crazy about poetry, which is why I misquote Emily Dickinson, Frost, etc.

Only if there's ever a hardback. Though, then, I would likely put it in the book itself.

There seems to be a recent translation available online at the Princeton Dante Project. You could see if that's in the public domain.

Allen Mandelbaum's version is my favorite. Did you find Henry Francis Cary's to be inferior in any way?

psychological time dilation.

I like your explaination, it is better than "as we age, time goes faster" it makes more sense too.

Well...if we get all quantum physics and relativity...it does mean, in a sense (because time may be affected by our perceptions of time) that time does speed up.

Time is moving so fast.

Gods, yes. Remember when summer vacations used to last forever? My current mantra is "I don't have enough time left to be afraid of anything."

But you need to ignore that. Rest. Relax. Breathe.
They've found feathers from dinosaurs.
They may have found neutrinos going faster than light.
They're solved an AIDS protein structure by giving it to gamers.
There's a ton of weird crap going on the world today.
It will keep going on even without you.
Enjoy what you can of your own life, while it's yours.
