Purgatorio 33.142–145
Dante, after drinking from the river Eunoe
Io ritornai da la santissima onda
rifatto sì come piante novelle
rinovellate di novella fronda,
puro e disposto a salire a le stelle.
I returned from the most holy wave,
remade like new plants
renewed with new foliage,
pure and disposed to climb to the stars.
