words…
‘Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting’ Daniel 5-27
‘There I lay, wearing dead people as armor against death’ The Gargoyle, Andrew Davidson
‘Through me you go into the city of weeping,
Through me you go into eternal pain
Through me you go among the lost people
Justice is what moved my exalted Maker;
I was the invention of the power of God,
Of his wisdom and of his primal love.
Before me there was nothing that was created
Except eternal things; I am eternal:
No room for help when you enter this place.’
Dante, Inferno-Canto 3
‘Débridement is the ripping apart of a person, the cutting away of as much as can possibly be endured. Technically it is removal of dead or contaminated tissue from a wound so that healthy skin may grow in its place’ The Gargoyle, Andrew Davidson.
‘We had already gone away from him,
When I saw two so frozen in one hole
That the head of one made headgear for the other;
And as in hunger people will gnaw bread,
So the one on top fixed his teeth in the lower one,
Just where the brain joins to the nape of the neck..’
Dante, Inferno
