Episode 45 - Dante travels through the center of the Earth, and escapes the Inferno. Canto 32-34.

In the last part of the Inferno, Dante and Virgil meet Lucifer in the center of the planet, half frozen in ice. He is gigantic in size, and his head has three faces eating the three traitors Judas, Brutus and Cassius (who plotted against The Roman Emperor Caesar.)

From the opening of the last poem, Canto 34:

A far-off windmill turning its huge sails
when a thick fog begins to settle in,
or when the light of day begins to fade,

that is what I thought I saw appearing.
And the gusts of wind it stirred made me shrink back
behind my guide, my only means of cover.

And then in the astonishing last four lines of the whole book, they are again, set free:

We climbed, he first and I behind, until,
through a small round opening ahead of us
I saw the lovely things the heavens hold,

and we came out to see once more the stars.

v.136-139, Canto XXXIV
