There's a mantra in AA recovery which so applies to the gifts of writing -- when you're going through Hell, don't stop. Virgil wraps Dante in the meters so they can travel through where damnation means forever being stuck in one's evil motions. There's always the next poem, penultimate of a healing we can't know the name of yet.
