Hello, this is my first post.
I have an old, old friend who sends me a cryptic message once a year that gives me a clue as to how I can contact him (he is peripatetic). (Last year's message was a chapter from Moby Dick.)
This year's message is, I think, in Latin. I'm seeking a translation and, if this is from a well-known text, the source. Thanks for your help!
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
che la diritta via era smarrita.
