Anagrams Ahoy!

Holy crickets! Take a look at this. Notice, if you will, the anagram of the first four tercets of Canto III of Dante's Divine Comedy. Not only is it a rearrangement of the letter of the original, but he has arranged them into a pretty good translation of the 13th century Italian into modern English...
and as if that is not enough (there are quite a few amazing anagrams on that page) take a gander at this piece of "constrained writing". It is a poem based very closely on Poe's "The Raven", and it parallels the original very closely. See if you can't figure what constraint Mr. Henry placed on his writing. No, it's not an anagram, and while it won't help you in your translations of Dante for Lit class, it would be more than helpful in geometry  But I can't say I expect anyone to pick up on the contraint, even with his hints and mine.
Eh, what can I say, I was entertained and awed. I couldn't but pass this along.
