Upon the margin of a lofty bank Which great rocks broken in a circle made, We came upon a still more cruel throng; And there, by reason of the horrible Excess of stench the deep abyss throws out, We drew ourselves aside behind the cover Of a great tomb, whereon I saw a writing, Which said: Pope Anastasius I hold, Whom out of the right way Photinus drew. The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Inferno, XI,1-9
