The Rise from Hell and The Rise to Paradise
'Even as he is who seeth in a dream,
And after dreaming the imprinted passion
Remains, and to his mind the rest returns not,
Even such am I, for almost utterly
Ceases my vision, and distilleth yet
Within my heart the sweetness born of it;'
-Il Paradiso, Canto XXXIII
A Tribute to Dante Alighieri.
