The argument that I shall make against it。
Lights many the eighth sphere displays to you
Which in their quality and quantity
May noted be of aspects different。
If this were caused by rare and dense alone
One only virtue would there be in all
Or more or less diffused察or equally。
Virtues diverse must be perforce the fruits
Of formal principles察and these察save one
Of course would by thy reasoning be destroyed。
Besides察if rarity were of this dimness
The cause thou askest察either through and through
This planet thus attenuate were of matter
Or else察as in a body is apportioned
The fat and lean察so in like manner this
Would in its volume interchange the leaves。
Were it the former察in the sun's eclipse
It would be manifest by the shining through
Of light察as through aught tenuous interfused。
This is not so察hence we must scan the other
And if it chance the other I demolish
Then falsified will thy opinion be。
But if this rarity go not through and through
There needs must be a limit察beyond which
Its contrary prevents the further passing
And thence the foreign radiance is reflected
Even as a colour cometh back from glass
The which behind itself concealeth lead。
Now thou wilt say the sunbeam shows itself
More dimly there than in the other parts
By being there reflected farther back。
From this reply experiment will free thee
If e'er thou try it察which is wont to be
The fountain to the rivers of your arts。
Three mirrors shalt thou take察and two remove
Alike from thee察the other more remote
Between the former two shall meet thine eyes。
Turned towards these察cause that behind thy back
Be placed a light察illuming the three mirrors
And coming back to thee by all reflected。
Though in its quantity be not so ample
The image most remote察there shalt thou see
How it perforce is equally resplendent。
Now察as beneath the touches of warm rays
Naked the subject of the snow remains
Both of its former colour and its cold
Thee thus remaining in thy intellect
Will I inform with such a living light
That it shall tremble in its aspect to thee。
Within the heaven of the divine repose
Revolves a body察in whose virtue lies
The being of whatever it contains。
The following heaven察that has so many eyes
Divides this being by essences diverse
Distinguished from it察and by it contained。
The other spheres察by various differences
All the distinctions which they have within them
Dispose unto their ends and their effects。
Thus do these organs of the world proceed
As thou perceivest now察from grade to grade
Since from above they take察and act beneath。
Observe me well察how through this place I come
Unto the truth thou wishest察that hereafter
Thou mayst alone know how to keep the ford
The power and motion of the holy spheres
As from the artisan the hammer's craft
Forth from the blessed motors must proceed。
The heaven察which lights so manifold make fair
From the Intelligence profound察which turns it
The image takes察and makes of it a seal。
And even as the soul within your dust
Through members different and accommodated
To faculties diverse expands itself
So likewise this Intelligence diffuses
Its virtue multiplied among the stars。
Itself revolving on its unity。
Virtue diverse doth a diverse alloyage
Make with the precious body that it quickens
In which察as life in you察it is combined。
From the glad nature whence it is derived
The mingled virtue through the body shines
Even as gladness through the living pupil。
From this proceeds whate'er from light to light
Appeareth different察not from dense and rare
This is the formal principle that produces
According to its goodness察dark and bright。;
Paradiso此Canto III
That Sun察which erst with love my bosom warmed
Of beauteous truth had unto me discovered
By proving and reproving察the sweet aspect。
And察that I might confess myself convinced
And confident察so far as was befitting
I lifted more erect my head to speak。
But there appeared a vision察which withdrew me
So close to it察in order to be seen
That my confession I remembered not。
Such as through polished and transparent glass
Or waters crystalline and undisturbed
But not so deep as that their bed be lost
Come back again the outlines of our faces
So feeble察that a pearl on forehead white
Comes not less speedily unto our eyes
Such saw I many faces prompt to speak
So that I ran in error opposite
To that which kindled love 'twixt man and fountain。
As soon as I became aware of them
Esteeming them as mirrored semblances
To see of whom they were察mine eyes I turned
And nothing saw察and once more turned them forward
Direct into the light of my sweet Guide
Who smiling kindled in her holy eyes。
;Marvel thou not察─she said to me察 because
I smile at this thy puerile conceit
Since on the truth it trusts not yet its foot
But turns thee察as 'tis wont察on emptiness。
True substances are these which thou beholdest
Here relegate for breaking of some vow。
Therefore speak with them察listen and believe
For the true light察which giveth peace to them
Permits them not to turn from it their feet。;
And I unto the shade that seemed most wishful
To speak directed me察and I began
As one whom too great eagerness bewilders
;O well´created spirit察who in the rays
Of life eternal dost the sweetness taste
Which being untasted ne'er is comprehended
Grateful 'twill be to me察if thou content me
Both with thy name and with your destiny。;
Whereat she promptly and with laughing eyes
;Our charity doth never shut the doors
Against a just desire察except as one
Who wills that all her court be like herself。
I was a virgin sister in the world
And if thy mind doth contemplate me well
The being more fair will not conceal me from thee
But thou shalt recognise I am Piccarda
Who察stationed here among these other blessed
Myself am blessed in the slowest sphere。
All our affections察that alone inflamed
Are in the pleasure of the Holy Ghost
Rejoice at being of his order formed
And this allotment察which appears so low
Therefore is given us察because our vows
Have been neglected and in some part void。;
Whence I to her此 In your miraculous aspects
There shines I know not what of the divine
Which doth transform you from our first conceptions。
Therefore I was not swift in my remembrance
But what thou tellest me now aids me so
That the refiguring is easier to me。
But tell me察ye who in this place are happy
Are you desirous of a higher place
To see more or to make yourselves more friends拭
First with those other shades she smiled a little
Thereafter answered me so full of gladness
She seemed to burn in the first fire of love
;Brother察our will is quieted by virtue
Of charity察that makes us wish alone
For what we have察nor gives us thirst for more。
If to be more exalted we aspired
Discordant would our aspirations be
Unto the will of Him who here secludes us
Which thou shalt see finds no place in these circles
If being in charity is needful here
And if thou lookest well into its nature
Nay察'tis essential to this blest existence
To keep itself within the will divine
Whereby our very wishes are made one
So that察as we are station above station
Throughout this realm察to all the realm 'tis pleasing
As to the King察who makes his will our will。
And his will is our peace察this is the sea
To which is moving onward whatsoever
It doth create察and all that nature makes。;
Then it was clear to me how everywhere
In heaven is Paradise察although the grace
Of good supreme there rain not in one measure。
But as it comes to pass察if one food sates
And for another still remains the longing
We ask for this察and that decline with thanks
E'en thus did I察with gesture and with word
To learn from her what was the web wherein
She did not ply the shuttle to the end。
;A perfect life and merit high in´heaven
A lady o'er us察─said she察 by whose rule
Down in your world they vest and veil themselves
That until death they may both watch and sleep
Beside that Spouse who every vow accepts
Which charity conformeth to his pleasure。
To follow her察in girlhood from the world
I fled察and in her habit shut myself
And pledged me to the pathway of her sect。
Then men accustomed unto evil more
Than unto good察from the sweet cloister tore me
God knows what afterward my life became。
This other splendour察which to thee reveals
Itself on my right side察and is enkindled
With all the illumination of our sphere
What of myself I say applies to her
A nun was she察and likewise from her head
Was ta'en the shadow of the sacred wimple。
But when she too was to the world returned
Against her wishes and against good usage
Of the heart's veil she never was divested。
Of great Costanza this is the effulgence
Who from th
