Prophecy Of Dante

Prophecy of Dante

by George Gordon, Lord Byron

The Prophecy of Dante is a poem by George Gordon, Lord Byron, written in 1819 after he visited the tomb of Dante Alighieri in Ravenna, Italy. The poem is a tribute to Dante and his work, and it also contains Byron's own reflections on the future of Italy. The poem is written in Terza Rima, the complex 3-line rhyme scheme used by Dante in his Divine Comedy. In the poem, Dante prophesies the future of Italy just before his death. He foresees a time of great turmoil and upheaval, but he also believes that Italy will eventually be unified and free. Byron's poem is a powerful and moving tribute to Dante and his work, and it also provides a glimpse into Byron's own thoughts on the future of Italy.
