Note 106 — DANTE.[1] (continued 2)

"Insensate he, who thinks with mortal ken To pierce Infinitude, which doth enfold Three Persons in one Substance. Seek not then, O mortal race, for reasons—but believe, And be contented; for had all been seen, No need there was for Mary to conceive. Men have ye known, who thus desired in vain; And whose desires, that might at rest have been, Now constitute a source of endless pain; Plato, the Stagirite; and many more, I here allude to;"—then his head he bent, Was silent, and a troubled aspect wore.—Wright.
