"Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye. Justice the founder of my fabric moved: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love. Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I endure. All hope Abandon, ye who enter here." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SHIP OF RIO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MY AIN COUNTRIE by MARY LEE DEMAREST THE MASTER-PLAYER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR BAVARIAN GENTIANS by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE RUNNING THE BATTERIES by HERMAN MELVILLE SONNET: 10.
