The Greyhound (veltro) prophecy of Virgil Foretelling the restoration of the Holy Roman Emperor
Behold the beast, for which I have turned back;
Do thou protect me from her, famous Sage,
For she doth make my veins and pulses tremble."
Thee it behoves to take another road,"
Responded he, when he beheld me weeping,"
If from this savage place thou wouldst escape;
Because this beast, at which thou criest out,
Suffers not any one to pass her way,
But so doth harass him, that she destroys him;
And has a nature so malign and ruthless,
That never doth she glut her greedy will,
And after food is hungrier than before.
Many the animals with whom she weds,
And more they shall be still, until the Greyhound
Comes, who shall make her perish in her pain.
He shall not feed on either land or pelf,
But upon wisdom, and on love and virtue;
'Twixt Feltro and Feltro shall his nation be;
Of that low Italy shall he be the saviour,
On whose account the maid Camilla died,
Euryalus, Turnus, Nisus, of their wounds;
Through every city shall he hunt her down,
Until he shall have driven her back to Hell,
There from whence envy first did let her loose.
Therefore I think and judge it for thy best
Thou follow me, and I will be thy guide,
And lead thee hence through the eternal place,
Dante Alighieri Inferno Canto I
'I dreamed of this one here as Lord
and huntsman, pursing the wolf
and the cubs up the mountain
(which blocks the sight of Lucca from the Pisans).
And skinny bitches, well trained
and obedient; he had out in front
as leaders of the pack Gualandi
with Sismondi and Lanfranchi.
A short run, and the father with his
sons seemed to grow tired, and
then I thought I saw Long fangs
sunk deep into their sides, ripped
open'

Eyebrows raised over the weekend as President Obama walked out of the gym at Fort McNair -- appearing thin as a rail!
Rigorous workouts and high-stress basketball games are said to be behind the dramatic weight loss.
"No, he's not chain smoking," claims an insider. "He's working non-stop for the country... yes, he does occasionally skip meals."
The president explained in Miami last week: "Just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough."
