Why is the first stanza in The Inferno significant?
The first stanza of Dante's Inferno reads as follows (based on Longfellow's translation):Midway upon the journey of our lifeI found myself within a forest dark,For the straightforward pathway had been lost.Firstly, the "our" is significant because Dante is referring to himself in a plural sense, which can be taken as showing Dante the poet (author) and Dante the pilgrim (literary character) as being one or as Dante simply addressing the reader and including them in the journey to come.The dark forest, "selva oscura", is symbolic of losing one's way. He has ventured into a dark and obscure place. This is strengthened by the loss of a "straightforward pathway". Dante is setting up the fact that he has wandered away from the light and the path of the norm, which is fitting when you consider that he is about to descend into hell.Hope that was helpful.

What does Bill Buford imply in his Lions and Tigers and Bears?
Bill Buford wrote about Central Park in this article, and quite a bit of it was about the crime that goes on after dark. He took the name for the article from the movie "The Wizard of Oz", where Dorothy, the Tinman, and the Scarecrow are walking through the dark woods, scared that at any moment a monstrous creature will surprise them and gobble them up. What happens instead is they meet the Cowardly Lion, who may be eager to prove himself as brave, but who is also quite friendly. If you read the article, you would see the resemblance.
