"Hic claudor Dantes patriis extorris ab oris, Quem genuit parvi Florentia mater amoris." "Here I am enclosed, Dante, exiled from my native country, Whom Florence bore, the mother that little did love him." Lorenzo the Magnificent The struggle in which Dante had played a leading part did not cease for many years after the poet had died in exile.
He lies buried in his death-city Ravenna: Hic claudor Dantes patriis extorris ab oris. The Florentines begged back his body, in a century after; the Ravenna people would not give it. "Here am I Dante laid, shut out from my native shores." I said, Dante's Poem was a Song: it is Tieck who calls it "a mystic unfathomable Song;" and such is literally the character of it.
