[xii]

Luce divina sopra me s’ appunta, penetrando per questa ond’ io m’ inventro; La cui virtù, col mio veder conguinta, mi leva sopra me tanto, ch’ io veggio la somma essenza della quale è munta. Quinci vien l’ allegrezza, ond’ io fiammeggio; perchè alla vista mia, quant’ ella è chiara, la chiarità della fiamma pareggio.

Par. xxi. 83.

[Divine Light doth focus itself upon me, piercing through that wherein I am enclosed; the power of which, united with my sight, so greatly lifts me up above myself that I see the Supreme Essence where from it is drawn. Thence comes the joy wherewith I flame; for to my vision, even as it is clear, I make the clearness of the flame respond.]
