Teaser Tuesdays

MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

*Grab your current read

*Open to a random page

*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page

*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)

*Share the title & author too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!

Here's a teaser from my current read, The Divine Comedy: Paradise by Dante Alighieri (trans by Dorothy L Sayers & Barbara Reynolds), p. 158:

From one new heart of fire was heard to rise

A voice, that like the needle to the pole

Turned me to whence it came; and on this wise

It spoke: "The love that makes me beautiful

Bids me proclaim that captain who praised mine

With such fair words, and him in turn extol;
