Purgatorio: Canto 17

Leaving the Terrace of the wrathful is like ascending the misty Alps towards the sun

Leaving the Terrace of the Wrathful is like ascending the misty Alps towards the sun. Dante has visions of people destroyed by their own anger. He is left wondering “Why do souls go astray?” Virgil tries to answer.
