Ugolino and Ruggieri

Not long after leaving this shade I observed two
   Others frozen into a single hole, so the head
Of one wore the head of the other in lieu

Of a cap; as fiercely as a hungry man gnaws bread,
 The upper soul sank his teeth into the lower -
Where the brain joins the nape - and fed 

On the skull.
