Canto XIV/1 A dance of frantic hands drives off the falling flames. These particular balletic examples were adapted from various posed hands in La Mode Illustree, the nineteenth century equivalent of Vogue. The vertical lines repeat the rain motif of VI/1 and 4, and indicate the parallel monotony and relentlessness of the fire in this Canto and the rain that falls on the gluttonous. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
