is like the wind, that shifts now here now there,
its name changed with the quarter whence it blows.

"Why is thy mind so entangled," said the Master [Virgil], "that thou slackenest thy pace? What is it to thee what they whisper there? Come after me and let the people talk. Stand like a firm tower that never shakes its top for blast of wind."

Dante Alighieri

Quote of the day
