Episode 63 - The Paradise, Canto 28. When Dante sees the end point of his Journey.


Listen Later

In the 9th Sphere of Heaven, the Primo Mobile, Dante suddenly sees a reflection of the center of the Divine Light glowing in Beatrice's eyes, and then looks up. What he sees is the illuminating light with nine rings of the Angelic Orders swirling around in increasing speed towards the center, with Love. There are millions and millions of sparks and Angels in his vision.

Beatrice explains:

"On that Point

depend all nature and all of the heavens.

Observe the circle nearest it, and know

the reason for its spinning at such speed
is that Love's fire burns it into motion."

C28, v. 41-45
