Thus do the blind, in want of livelihood, stand at the doors of churches asking alms, and one upon another leans his head, so that in others pity soon may rise, not only at the accent of their words, but at their aspect, which no less implores. The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Illustrated by Gustave Dore (1832-1883)
