In this episode we look at the opening line of the first song of the Paradise, and how the subject of the book is hard to describe fully with words, due to its nature. Dante will however, he tells us, do his best to tell the story of his travels into the heavens - as a metaphor for love, emotional life, and the spiritual inner self.
The glory of the One Who moves all things
penetrates all the universe, reflecting
in one part more and in another less.
I have been in His brightest shining heaven
and seen such things that no man, once returned
from there, has wit or skill to tell about;
for when our intellect draws near its goal
and fathoms to the depths of its desire,
the memory is powerless to follow.
