Episode 7 - Bonaventure presents St. Dominic, and the Myth of Echo.
In Canto 12 a second ring of glowing lights appear around Dante and Beatrice, symbolizing the Franciscan Order and the acts of Love - being echoed and reflecting from the inner circle of Wisdom. Through this Dante is presenting the second "Prince" who is supporting the Church, St. Dominic, and again it is a Priest of one Order presenting the Saint of the other.
The final quote is from Ecclesiastes from about three thousand years ago, about shifting times:
"The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
Enjoy!
