That infinite and indescribable good which is there above races as swiftly to love as a ray of light to a bright body. It gives of itself according … - Dante Alighieri

My son, you've seen the temporary fire
and the eternal fire; you have reached
the place past which my powers cannot see.
I've brought you here through intellect and art;
from now on, let your pleasure be your guide;
you're past the steep and past the narrow paths.
Look at the sun that shines upon your brow;
look at the grasses, flowers, and the shrubs
born here, spontaneously, of the earth.
Among them, you can rest or walk until
the coming of the glad and lovely eyes — those eyes that weeping, sent me to your side.
Await no further word or sign from me:
your will is free, erect, and whole — to act
against that will would be to err: therefore
I crown and miter you over yourself

O Simon Magus! O wretched followers of his and robbers ye, who prostitute the things of God, that should be wedded unto righteousness, for gold and silver! now must the trump sound for you: for ye are in the third chasm.
