Purgatory part 2 (Cantos 12 – 22) 5/9 In canto 13 they meet people who were envious. Their eyelids are sewn open with wires. It's not clear how long they suffer this before going up to heaven. Around them Dante and Virgil begin to hear, instead of the winds and torrents of hell, sounds of celestial music, choirs and instruments playing. The sufferers often explain that in life they repented of their sins but too late and they have to undergo this time in Purgatory. Their problem is while they hope for release from their torments they don't know when. Again and again Dante appeals to Virgil for explanations. In Canto 21 They meet a roman christian poet Statius who will take over from Virgil who because he is not a christian can't enter heaven. AM109SB20 2020 dur: 2hrs 13 mins
