Circle 4: Fate and Fortune

"No mortal power may stay her spinning wheel.

The nations rise and fall by her decree.

None may foresee where she will set her heel:

She passes, and things pass. Man’s mortal reason

Cannot encompass her. She rules her sphere

as the gods rule theirs. Season by season” ( Canto VII, lines 82-87).
