Notes

Canto I, lines 103-105:

"The glory of Him who moves all things pervades the universe and shines in one part more and in another less."

Canto XIII, lines 52-54:

"The Providence that orders all this All and controls it with its light, so that each part of it makes radiant the others."

Canto XXXIII, lines 85-91:

Within in its depths, this light, I saw, contained,
bound up and gathered in a single book,
the leaves that scatter through the universe –
beings and accidents and modes of life,
as though blown all together in a way
that what I say is just a simple light.
This knotting-up of Universal Form
I saw, I’m sure of that. For now I feel,
in saying this, a gift of greater joy.
