  • Summary

  • The zealous slothful have run on, although there are still two coming in the rear, "biting" the penitents from behind with warnings about sloth.

    After that, the pilgrim Dante has a new thought--curiously undefined--which leads him into his second dream in PURGATORIO.

    Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we finish off Canto XVIII and leave our pilgrim to his slumbers.
