Contrapasso

In Dante's Inferno, for every sin there has to be
an equal and fitting punishment. Flatterers, 

seducers, grafters, hypocrites, cephalophores—
for every failing, a torture both material and 

metaphorical. Monks and friars who in life didn't take 
their vow of poverty seriously wear gilded cloaks 

of lead in hell. Those who murdered and killed 
are submerged in rivers of boiling blood, 

and the arrogant are bent over from the weight 
of boulders borne on their backs. Bertran de Born, 

knight then troubadour then monk, caused divisions 
among others, and so he is beheaded. Not only that, he

has to walk around the eighth circle of hell, carrying 
his severed head like a Coleman camping lamp.
