And if I am allowed, o highest Jove, to ask:
You who were on earth crucified for us --
Have You turned elsewhere Your just eyes?
Or are You, in Your judgment's depth,
Devising a good that we cannot foresee,
Completely dissevered from our way of understanding?"
The Divine Comedy, Purgatorio Canto VI:118-120
Queries to Jove (Jesus) by Sordello spoken to Dante after Sordello described destruction wrought by family allegiance to Ghibelline and Guelph factions.
