Essay: Dante And Beatrice By Selina Sheth
1 min readInspired by the NYT’s Modern Love series, Selina Sheth explores love through Dante & Beatrice in this personal essay.
‘L’ámor che move il sole e l’ áltre stelle.’
Love which moves the sun and other stars.
The appearance of Dante Alighieri’s famous verse on my Facebook private messenger is unusual, but what stuns me are the lines that follow.
‘Are you the same Selina I met on the beach in Milano Marittima? The summer of ‘86? I hope so. If you are, then it’s me. Daniele.’
And just like that, it all comes rushing back.
