Context
“That to my first intent I have returned. Now go, for one sole will is in us both, Thou Leader, and thou Lord, and Master thou."
Thus said I to him; and when he had moved, I entered on the deep and savage way. Inferno: Canto III "Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine Omnipotence, The highest Wisdom and the primal Love. Before me there were no created things, Only eterne, and I eternal last. All hope abandon, ye who enter in!"” source
