What are these anagrams of:
A. A doubly-true anagram
This claims to be the longest doubly-true anagram ever constructed.
1 + 40 + 50 + 8 + 75 + 78 +
52 + 65 +102 + 24 + 26 + 27 +
6 + 13 + 44 + 14 + 70 + 72 +
11 + 34 + 58 + 25 + 76 + 92 +
28 + 59 + 68 + 23 + 81 + 94 =
7 + 30 + 45 + 2 + 18 + 93 +
4 + 35 + 71 + 5 + 20 + 90 +
41 + 57 + 80 + 9 + 83 + 89 +
47 + 55 + 60 + 12 + 54 + 62 +
21 + 63 + 97 + 46 + 51 + 69 = 1416
B. A Stately Anagram
This little poem celebrates the distinctly American musical genius Thelonius Monk. Can you guess what is an anagram of, given the clue that the title and text of the poem contain exactly 100 letters?
Viva United States of America
Monk? Hmm . . . jivin', man!
Honk, known champ - damn!
Calmly twirl, mystic vox,
And dancing skyward, waltz.

C: Finally,
Anagram:
"I am a portal to a sad place.
I am a cover to eternal fire.
Go, see our pit ooze craven memories.
Elite persistence moved some creator;
Divine omnipotence created me;
I am solo orgies of primal love.
Listen: ere me no denizens used our portal.
I quit not, and I last eternal.
FOREGO ALL HOPE, ALL MEN THAT ENTER."
Crazed and curious, in a daze I sat
To see man pour out over a portal;
So I said: "Master, I cannot see its import."
regards

OK to make it easier, one is an anagram of a poem about an eternal fire.
One is about America and one about elements.

60 distinct elements ; using their atomic numbers there is still equality.

I can't see them and I know some.

C:
The English text is both an anagram of and an approximate translation of the first four tercets of Canto III of Dante's "Inferno",
from the original 13th-century Italian.
Original:
"Per me si va ne la citta dolente
Per me si va ne l'etterno dolore
Per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore;
Fecemi la divina podestate,
La somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
Se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
LASCIATE OGNE SPERANZA, VOI CH'INTRATE."
Queste parole di colore oscuro
vid' io scritte al sommo d'una porta;
per ch'io: "Maestro, il senso lor m'e duro
