Dante, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

By Jeremy Tambling and Dante Alighieri

Excerpt from Dante, Vol. 3

His elevation is thus described zw-gazing upw Bea trice, he is endued with power to bear awhile the intensity of the Divine Light. This so wonderfully increases, that suddenly day seem'd added unto day; H as though Omnipotence had lighted up the sky with another sun; and he is insensibly translated from earth to heaven.

The first planet, to which in company with his celestial guide he finds himself exalted, is the Moon. - The ap pearance of its inhabitants, dimly and faintly seen through an atmosphere likened unto clear and tranquil water, is beautifully described 1 and the contentment of those to whom this lowest sphere is assigned, proves that how ever the mansions of heaven may differ in glory, -still, Canto i. 109. Jr Ih. I. 136. 10. T Ih. I. 54. Ih. I. 11 lb. Iii. 10.
