Scope and Contents
VIII/2 Dante wavers between 'yes' and 'no'. The same drawing of his skull as was used in Canto V/1 here contains the ticks and crosses of his dilemma. The form of the skull is echoed by question marks. Other hints of the poet's face float indecisively around: these are taken from the series of drawings mentioned in the note to Canto IV/2. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
