The Gluttons
A drawing inspired by the Divine Comedy
The Inferno - Canto VI - Circle III
Charcoal, 1995
"Huge hailstones, dirty water, and black snow
pour from the dismal air to putrefy
the putrid slush that waits them below.
And they too, howl like dogs in the freezing storm,
turning and turning from it as if they thought
one naked side could keep the other warm."
