A new Divine Comedy will not be made, nor would it make sense to make one, even though it can rightly be considered the supreme model of artistic achievement in literature. In this sense, it must be admitted: the change of the times demands an art that represents it. However, having all the culture of an era condensed there, harmonizing with the manifestation of a very individual conscience which, although it moves in it and expresses itself through it, manages to paint it and judge it at the same time, is a lesson that the modern artist does very well to assimilate. The present time is, and always will be, a unique opportunity. The new is necessary, but it will not be valuable if it is not based on an old and immortal understanding.
