A thousand thanks. Florence Nightingale, who was born in Florence, was
writing about Dante in these pages in which this quotation occurs, having
begun by discussing Lamentations, the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and
Dante's use of them, next his use of Lamentations in his letters, then the
quotation in question, then stating Dante was passing through an Inferno, a
transition stage in his life and underlining 'which makes the soul a hell',
then Beatrice's death. 'I have attained to look on the beginning of peace',
underlining 'to look on the beginning', then discussing the opening lines of
the Inferno, where 'his whole life seemed to him a chaos & a mistake,
underlining 'the wood dark & the way lost', etc.
And, perhaps, to get this completely right for Professor Lynn Macdonald,
could someone give us 'the cowl does not make the monk' source?
