On reaching the new circle, Dante, instead of the fierce wailings thatused to meet him at every turn in hell, heard voices singing, "Blessedare the poor in spirit. "[27] As he went, he perceived that he walkedlighter, and was told by Virgil that the angel had freed him from one ofthe letters on his forehead. He put his hand up to make sure, as a mandoes in the street when people take notice of something on his head ofwhich he is not aware; and Virgil smiled.
In this new circle the sin of Envy w...as expiated. After the pilgrims hadproceeded a mile, they heard the voices of invisible spirits passingthem, uttering sentiments of love and charity; for it was charity itselfthat had to punish envy.
The souls of the envious, clad in sackcloth, sat leaning for support andhumiliation, partly against the rocky wall of the circle, and partly onone another's shoulders, after the manner of beggars that ask alms nearplaces of worship. Their eyes were sewn up, like those of hawks intraining, but not so as to hinder them from shedding tears, which theydid in abundance; and they cried, "Mary, pray for us!--Michael, Peter, and all the saints, pray for us!" Dante spoke to them; and one, a female, lifted up her chin as a blindperson does when expressing consciousness of notice, and said she wasSapia of Sienna, who used to be pleased at people's misfortunes, and hadrejoiced when her countrymen lost the battle of Colle.
