Original artwork description:

" Un seul moment m’est une plus longue léthargie
que vingt-cinq siècles à l’entreprise
qui fit admirer à Neptune l’ombre d’Argo.

One moment seems a longer lethargy,
Than five-and-twenty ages had appear’d
To that emprize, that first made Neptune wonder
At Argo’s shadow darkening on his flood

Un punto solo m’è maggior letargo
che venticinque secoli a la ’mpresa
che fé Nettuno ammirar l’ombra d’Argo." DANTE - Divina Comedia canto XXXIII
