Sneak PeakMidway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.
SynopsisTo aid in perfecting the translation and reviewing proofs, in 1864 Longfellow organized the ‘Dante Club, ‘ a group of friends that met on Wednesdays until the Longfellow translation was published in 1867.
