If you'd like to read long, drop a comment, or print it off, go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[02:35] Dante the poet enters Virgil's space: explanatory material.[05:06] Why does Dante the poet so understate the climb out?[06:21] Virgil's explanation of this cavern and the mountain above us stated as supposition because Virgil has no experiential knowledge of this geography.[07:31] INFERNO may end on a point of uncertainty: What is this little stream they follow?[10:12] INFERNO ends with the stars.[11:48] More importantly, INFERNO ends with Virgil's exit from hell.
