Thee thus remaining in thy intellect, Will I inform with such a living light, That it shall tremble in its aspect to thee. 1231 Within the heaven of the divine repose 1232 Revolves a body, in whose virtue lies The being of whatever it contains. The following heaven, that has so many eyes, 1233 Divides this being by essences diverse, Distinguished from it, and by it contained. The other spheres, by various differences, All the distinctions which they have within them Dispose unto their ends and their effects. Thus do these organs of the world proceed, As thou perceivest now, from grade to grade; Since from above they take, and act beneath. Observe me well, how through this place I come Unto the truth thou wishest, that hereafter Thou mayst alone know how to keep the ford. The power and motion of the holy spheres, As from the artisan the hammer’s craft, Forth from the blessed motors must proceed.
