Note 231 — SECOND PART. The Astronomy of Dante.
Reading edition
“I to that point in the great wheel have come, Wherein the horizon, when the sun doth set, Brings forth the twin-starred heaven to our sight; And Love’s fair star away from us doth roam, Through the bright rays obliquely on it met In such wise that they veil its tender light; That planet which makes keen the cold of night Shows himself to us in the circle great, Where each star of the seven casts little shade.” (Plumptre).
