questa natura al suo fattore unita,
qual fu creata, fu sincera e buona;
ma per sé stessa pur fu ella sbandita
di paradiso, però che si torse
da via di verità e da sua vita.
This nature, united to its maker,
was good and pure, just as when created;
but in itself, this nature had been banished
from paradise, because it turned aside
from the path of truth and its own life.
I am - we are - by nature
meant for truth
goodness
beauty
apart
from these
we are brittle
in these verdant and fine
