Episode 25 - Canto XXII, seeing the Earth in a new Perspective
In the 22nd Canto of Paradise, Dante the Pilgrim discovers what the thunderous cry ("the sound of which no one on earth has heard") from the previous Canto meant.
He also has a symbolic vision of his own spiritual growth through looking down at the Earth, from the 8th sphere of Paradise:
My vision travelled back through all the spheres,
through seven heavens, and then I saw our globe;
it made me smile, it looked so paltry there.
Canto XXII, 133-135.
