Just working on some sketches for the wood of the suicides in canto XIII. The idea is that their souls are thrown into the seventh maw and they take root wherever they fall. On the final day of judgment they would retrieve their bodies but not be allowed to wear them. Because they had thrown away the gift of life they would be forced instead to hang their former flesh from their branches for eternity.
Lovely.
I think I may have the bodies hanging from the trees along with the harpies. I can add a line to the canto so Dante thinks them pieces of fruit.
What a maroon.
