The Book of Ma'at, chapter 1, pages 1-3

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita,

mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,

che la diritta via era smarrita.
La Divina Commedia, Dante Alighieri

Midway upon the journey of our life

I found myself within a forest dark,

⁠for the straightforward pathway had been lost.

 
 

Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura

esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte

che nel pensier rinova la paura!
La Divina Commedia, Dante Alighieri

Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say

what was this forest savage, rough, and stern,

⁠which in the very thought renews the fear.

 
 



"La diritta via è smarrita!", gridai.

"Ci siamo persi!"

"The straightforward pathway had been lost!", I cried.

"We got lost!"

 
 




His face was altered like that of one who has made a long journey.
The Epic of Gilgamesh, translation by N. K. Sanders

Il suo viso era stravolto come quello di chi ha fatto un lungo viaggio
