PURGATORIO, Episode 223. Let The Apocalypse Roll: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, Lines 1 - 30

Our pilgrim, Dante, and the beautiful lady walk on, each on their own side of Lethe. They seem to leave the more open space and reenter the forest when a flash of light overwhelms the pilgrim. It’s the signal for the start of the great apocalyptic parade that will take up more of Canto XXIX. It’s also the catalyst for some very pernicious misogyny.
