Here, too, I saw a nation of lost souls,

Far more than were above: they strained their chests

Against enormous weights, and with mad howls

Rolled them at one another. Then in haste

They rolled them back, one party shouting out:

“Why do you hoard?” and the other: “Why do you waste?”

—#DanteAlighieri's #Inferno, Canto VII, translation by #JohnCiardi
