Look at Doré's picture of the demons confronting Virgil and Dante (left image) and then read the corresponding lines from Dante's Inferno.

With just the same rage and roaring of dogs
When they rush out on some poor passing beggar
Who stops dead in his tracks and starts to beg,
So these devils, from beneath the bridge
Shot out with all their prongs aimed at my guide,
But he shouted, "Stop being savages!
"Before you would impale me with your forks,
One of you step forward to hear me out
And then resolve to grapple me or not."

(21.22-24.67-75)
