in Dantesque cadence Explanation: A reference to Dante Alighieri's style, especially in the Divine Comedy. Preserving the rhyme, however, will be a challenge. Example sentence(s):

in a Dantesque way / manner/ style Explanation: son 4. m. Tenor, modo o manera. A este son. Por este son. https://dle.rae.es/son?m=form So here, "son" is not a musical term but a dated word for "way" or "manner" (see the example provided by the Spanish Royal Academy, "a este son".) |

like in Dante's Inferno Explanation: Since we (here, collectively) don't seem to like the adjective "Dantesque" and this seems to be talking about how it feels to have one's guts ripped apart like in the Inferno... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2020-12-15 09:25:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (My degree is in Italian and I had to read the whole Divina Commedia in old Italian - 30 years ago, mind you!) |
