Scope and Contents
This image is of small human figures falling downward on a mottled green background. The found text seems to refer to Dante's Inferno. The poem reads, "My stories of a soul's surprise a soul which crossed a chasm in whose depths I find I found myself and nothing more than that. - Such trouble transfigured is mastered life." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
