VI/4 Every new illustrator of Dante has somehow to exorcise the ghost of Gustave Dore. Here the cold compress of bodies beneath the monotonously falling rain, hail and snow is a collage of fragments of figures taken from a cheap reprint of Dore's version of the Inferno using about a hundred different bits of the writhing people that it so liberally provides. The weather element is an adaptation of the first attempt to make the first image of the Canto (initially pigless). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
