Happy Beltane from southern Michigan. It rained heavily overnight, and the birds are singing this morning. High of 65 today! Last week we still had highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s, so it was a chilly April. But now it‘s May! Only my big back bed remains to be burned off. Spring is here.

Ahhhhh, Spring in Michigan. But May is coming! And in that vein, one of your packages for the #BeltaneBox has shipped, @DebinHawaii ! It was drop-shipped from Valley City, Ohio, and the hashtag should be on the box. The shop name is Katie Mae Naturals. More to come!

Chrissyreadit 🎉🥳❤️ 3y
DebinHawaii Thank you! 🤗I‘ll be on the lookout! 3y
DebinHawaii It arrived yesterday (Friday) & is set aside. Thank you! 🤗 To @Chrissyreadit and @sprainedbrain I‘ll post a pic when the other arrives. 3y
MittenGirlPeach @DebinHawaii yayyyy! Very glad to hear this. The rest of the swap is coming to you this week. It should be two boxes from Amazon, arriving tomorrow and Tuesday. Apologies for it not all coming from me; I much prefer to pack it all myself; way more fun! But I was concerned about it being on time. 3y
Chrissyreadit Did your Beltane box arrive? 3y

What on Earth have I gotten myself into? 🤣😂🤣 How does one choose? Just reading the first 6 lines, it seems Hollander is clearer.
#Dante #Inferno #translation #helpme #mayday @Graywacke

Graywacke Cool. I like the Ciardi. Do not like the Mandelbaum. 😂 Good luck. 4y
GingerAntics @Graywacke the Mandelbaum is definitely the worst. It got too flowery with the language, which seems to muddy the water, in my opinion. I think it‘s between the Hollander and Ciardi for me, but based on just this passage, the Hollander seems clearer. I‘ll continue to compare the rest of the sample for each of those two, but I‘m definitely leaning toward the Hollander. I‘m glad I asked which translation you used. 4y
Graywacke If it helps, Hollander is a husband wife team. Dante is their life and was for decades before they started a systematic translation. I don‘t know anything about Ciardi, but i like that opening - poetic, flows. I think you‘re ok either way. Dante helps his translators because the source material is good 🙂 4y

GingerAntics @Graywacke I saw that it was a husband and wife team. I didn‘t know they were so immersed in all things Dante. All I know about Ciardi is that he‘s a poet. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I really think I‘m going with Hollander. I really only chose the Ciardi initially because that‘s the translation the kids had to use, it was cheap, and I rather like the cover art. That‘s not really a reason to go with that translation, though. 4y
Texreader What a great way to pick this book, by the best translation. I (stupidly) read it in middle school—picking whatever was available at the library. I was always so confused. But I muddled through convincing myself to never read it again! Fortunately I‘ve never had to. 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader I almost blindly chose a translation. I‘m so glad now that I didn‘t. As it turns out, now my choice seems to be ebook or audiobook. They‘re both the same price. I may just end up getting both. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 4y
Texreader @GingerAntics I think I would so you can choose at any one time which makes more sense to you. Btw, it taught me some books shouldn‘t be read by preteens, no matter how smart you think you are—you aren‘t smart enough for Inferno! 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader 🤣😂🤣 absolutely! As a kid that could read well beyond my age group, I encountered a few books like that. Luckily I had some good librarians that helped guide me, but never restricted me. They would tell me they didn‘t think I was quite ready for a book, but if I really wanted to read it, I could. 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader I think it happened twice. Both times they said something along the lines of “see what I meant before? You can read it, but it might not make sense anyway.” Then I figured out it was easier to trust them. 🤣😂🤣 I think the day they found a 7 year old in the medical text section trying to understand death, they knew they were in trouble. 🤣😂🤣 4y
Texreader @GingerAntics Yea!! No kidding!! 😬🤣 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader I almost feel bad for my librarians, now that I think about it. 🤣😂🤣 4y
