Quoted byWalter Pater, Studies in the History of the Rennaissance. 1873.
Description:'in the scene of those who 'go down quick into hell,' there is an invention about the fire taking hold on the upturned soles of the feet, which proves that the design is no mere translation of Dante's words' (30)
'As we come in reading his [Michelangelo's] life on its harsh, untempered incidents, the thought again and again arises that he is one of those who incur the judgment of Dante, as having 'wilfully lived in sadness.'' (45)
