	Omnium-Gatherum: Literature and Film - Mount Analogue
		Like Mount Purgatory the climb of Mount Analogue requires a profound act of repentance, a purgation of self-willed egotism.
		Dante reaches the Earthly paradise on top of Mount Purgatory, but we never find out what lies on the summit of Mount Analogue, not what its heights symbolize.
		The mountains in both works bear allegorical names that make their symbolism explicit: Mount Analogue and Mount Purgatory.

	Sicilians Take Grumpy Mount Etna in Their Stride

		Mount Osore (the very name itself means 'fear' or 'dread') is, to the Japanese, an earthly incarnation of Buddhist purgatory.
		Mount Osore may be only five hours from Tokyo by train and bus but it feels a million miles away from the capital's corporate go-getters, neon entertainment districts and high-tech gadgets.
		Here, half way up Mount Osore, a barren volcanic peak in remote Aomori prefecture, people are giving free reign to their emotions: wailing to the right of me, gnashing of teeth to the left.

	The Pisgah Sight -- Typological Image
		Moments of revelatory vision occur to Petrarch on Mount Ventoux, Dante on the mount of Purgatory, Spenser's Red Cross Knight on the mount of Contemplation, Rousseau's St. Preux in the Valois, Wordsworth on Mount Snowdon, and Coleridge, Shelley, and Ruskin in the Alps.
		The Pisgah sight is thus a coming together, a confrontation, of human and divine, temporal and eternal, immediately before the death of the prophet who had given his life to serving God and His chosen people, and it therefore stands simultaneously as the culmination, reward, and punishment for the acts of that life.
		Nineteenth-century authors with relatively firm belief employ the orthodox and extended forms of the Pisgah sight to describe dying visions or to create images that act as windows into eternity; those without such belief employ the Pisgah sight and its analogue, the prospect, for the ironies potential in the situation.

		And I walked out more beneath the stars." Thom's lyrics are from the viewpoint of Dante (the writer of the Inferno) because it is when he comes back to the surface through the mount of Purgatory, returning to the things he "used to see".

	Replenish the Earth
		The whole of the Divine Comedy is the allegorical account of man's journey through wilderness to paradise; and on the summit of Mount Purgatory, the pilgrim, with Virgil's guidance, reaches the terrestrial paradise, which is at once the Golden Age of Virgil and the Eden of the Bible.
		The paradise of delights, which was Eden, has been turned to wilderness: man is in exile from his patria, condemned to journey as an alien through desert places, when man and nature are at enmity, and indeed, the whole of nature is distorted.
		Or, to choose another illustration: in the twelfth-century mosaic which adorns the apse of the Church of San Clemente, in Rome, one sees the Cross represented as the Tree of life, in a renewed Garden of Eden, wherein are represented a myriad of plants and animals in marvellous harmony, together with scenes of human occupations.
