FOOTNOTES:
[1] "_Faudra recommencer_" ("We must begin again"), said, to the
present writer in 1871, a Communist refugee bearing a great scar on
his face from a wound received fighting at the barricades.
[2] _Inf._ XXIX. 121-123. A French commentator consoles himself by
reflecting that the author of the _Divina Commedia_ is far more
vituperative when dealing with certain Italian peoples, whom he
designates as hogs, curs, wolves and foxes.
