XXVI/2 Among the flames which, in an extended image, he compares to fireflies, Dante spies out five Florentines in the perpetual dusk. Here in what heraldry would call a `field' of stylised fireflies I have placed five reduced versions of the computer-distorted lilies already used in Canto XXIV/4. These have been highlighted both by the suppression of the background mezzotint and their being encircled, as if in the telescopic sights of a gun, by target-shapes (combinations in fact of Letraset photo-registration marks) which pinpoint them as unerringly as does Dante's scorn. The number 5 is the page number of the Human Document text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
