    After   the   precious   and   pellucid   crystals�察  �With   which   begemmed   the 

sixth light I beheld�察�Silence imposed on the angelic bells�察�

     I seemed to hear the murmuring of a river That clear descendeth down 

from rock to rock�察�Showing the affluence of its mountain´top。 

    And as the sound upon the cithern's neck Taketh its form�察�and as upon 

the vent Of rustic pipe the wind that enters it�察�

     Even thus�察�relieved from the delay of waiting�察�That murmuring of the 

eagle mounted up Along its neck�察�as if it had been hollow。 

     There it became a voice�察�and issued thence From out its beak�察�in such a 

form of words As the heart waited for wherein I wrote them。 

     ;The   part   in   me   which   sees   and   bears   the   sun   In   mortal   eagles�察─  �it 

began to me�察 �Now fixedly must needs be looked upon�察�

    For of the fires of which I make my figure�察�Those whence the eye doth 

sparkle in my head Of all their orders the supremest are。 

    He   who   is   shining   in   the   midst   as   pupil   Was   once   the   singer   of   the 

Holy Spirit�察�Who bore the ark from city unto city�察�

    Now knoweth he the merit of his song�察�In so far as effect of his own 

counsel�察�By the reward which is commensurate。 

     Of five�察�that make a circle for my brow�察�He that approacheth nearest to 

my beak Did the poor widow for her son console�察�

    Now knoweth he how dearly it doth cost Not following Christ�察�by the 

experience Of this sweet life and of its opposite。

    He who comes next in the circumference Of which I speak�察�upon its 

highest arc�察�Did death postpone by penitence sincere�察�

    Now knoweth he that   the eternal   judgment Suffers no change�察 �albeit 

worthy prayer Maketh below to´morrow of to´day。 

     The next who   follows�察�with the   laws and me�察 �Under the good   intent 

that bore bad fruit Became a Greek by ceding to the pastor�察�

    Now knoweth he how all the ill deduced From his good action is not 

harmful to him�察�Although the world thereby may be destroyed。 

    And he�察�whom in the downward arc thou seest�察�Guglielmo was�察�whom 

the same land deplores That weepeth Charles and Frederick yet alive�察�

    Now knoweth he how heaven enamoured is With a just king�察�and in 

the outward show Of his effulgence he reveals it still。 

    Who   would   believe�察  �down   in   the   errant   world�察  �That   e'er   the   Trojan 

Ripheus in this round Could be the fifth one of the holy lights�拭�

    Now knoweth he enough of what the world Has not the power to see 

of grace divine�察�Although his sight may not discern the bottom。; 

     Like as   a  lark that   in   the air  expatiates�察 �First singing   and   then   silent 

with content Of the last sweetness that doth satisfy her�察�

     Such seemed to me the image of the imprint Of the eternal pleasure�察�

by whose will Doth everything become the thing it is。 

    And notwithstanding to my doubt I was As glass is to the colour that 

invests it�察�To wait the time in silence it endured not�察�

    But forth from out my mouth�察 �What things are these�拭─�Extorted with 

the force of its own weight�察�Whereat I saw great joy of coruscation。 

     Thereafterward   with   eye   still   more   enkindled   The   blessed   standard 

made to me reply�察�To keep me not in wonderment suspended�此�

     ;I see that thou believest in these things Because I say them�察�but thou 

seest not how�察�So that�察�although believed in�察�they are hidden。 

     Thou doest as he doth who a thing by name Well apprehendeth�察�but its 

quiddity Cannot perceive�察�unless another show it。 

     'Regnum   coelorum'   suffereth   violence   From   fervent   love�察  �and   from 

that living hope That overcometh the Divine volition�察�

    Not in the guise that man o'ercometh man�察�But conquers it because it 

will be conquered�察�And conquered conquers by benignity。

     The   first   life   of   the   eyebrow   and   the   fifth   Cause   thee   astonishment�察�

because with them Thou seest the region of the angels painted。 

     They   passed   not   from   their   bodies�察  �as   thou    thinkest�察  �Gentiles�察  �but 

Christians     in  the   steadfast   faith   Of   feet  that  were    to  suffer   and   had 

suffered。 

     For   one   from   Hell�察  �where   no   one   e'er   turns   back   Unto   good   will�察�

returned unto his bones�察�And that of living hope was the reward�察�

     Of   living   hope�察  �that   placed   its   efficacy   In   prayers   to   God   made   to 

resuscitate him�察�So that 'twere possible to move his will。 

     The   glorious   soul   concerning   which   I   speak�察  �Returning   to   the   flesh�察�

where brief its stay�察�Believed in Him who had the power to aid it�察�

     And�察  �in   believing�察  �kindled   to   such   fire   Of   genuine   love�察  �that   at   the 

second death Worthy it was to come unto this joy。 

     The other one�察�through grace�察�that from so deep A fountain wells that 

never hath the eye Of any creature reached its primal wave�察�

     Set all his love below on righteousness�察�Wherefore from grace to grace 

did God unclose His eye to our redemption yet to be�察�

     Whence he believed therein�察�and suffered not From that day forth the 

stench of paganism�察�And he reproved therefor the folk perverse。 

     Those Maidens three�察�whom at the right´hand wheel Thou didst behold�察�

were unto him for baptism More than a thousand years before baptizing。 

     O thou predestination�察�how remote Thy root is from the aspect of all 

those Who the First Cause do not behold entire� �

     And     you�察  �O   mortals�     �hold   yourselves     restrained    In   judging�察   �for 

ourselves�察�who look on God�察�We do not know as yet all the elect�察�

     And sweet to us is such a deprivation�察�Because our good in this good is 

made perfect�察�That whatsoe'er God wills�察�we also will。; 

     After this manner by that shape divine�察�To make clear in me my short´ 

sightedness�察�Was given to me a pleasant medicine�察�

     And as good singer a good lutanist Accompanies with vibrations of the 

chords�察�Whereby more pleasantness the song acquires�察�

     So�察  �while   it   spake�察  �do   I   remember   me   That   I   beheld   both   of   those 

blessed lights�察�Even as the winking of the eyes concords�察�

     Moving unto the words their little flames。

       Already on my Lady's face mine eyes Again were fastened�察�and with 

these my mind�察�And from all other purpose was withdrawn�察�

    And she smiled not�察�but ;If I were to smile�察─�She unto me began�察 �thou 

wouldst become Like Semele�察�when she was turned to ashes。 

    Because   my   beauty�察  �that   along   the   stairs   Of   the   eternal   palace   more 

enkindles�察�As thou hast seen�察�the farther we ascend�察�

     If it were tempered not�察�is so resplendent That all thy mortal power in 

its effulgence Would seem a leaflet that the thunder crushes。 

    We are uplifted to the seventh splendour�察�That underneath the burning 

Lion's breast Now radiates downward mingled with his power。 

    Fix in direction of thine eyes the mind�察�And make of them a mirror for 

the figure That in this mirror shall appear to thee。; 

    He   who   could   know   what   was   the   pasturage   My   sight   had   in   that 

blessed countenance�察�When I transferred me to another care�察�

    Would recognize how grateful was to me Obedience unto my celestial 

escort�察�By counterpoising one side with the other。 Within the crystal which�察�

around   the   world   Revolving�察  �bears   the   name   of   its   dear   leader�察  �Under 

whom every wickedness lay dead�察�

     Coloured like gold�察�on which the sunshine gleams�察�A stairway I beheld 

to such a height Uplifted�察�that mine eye pursued it not。 

    Likewise beheld I down the steps descending So many splendours�察�that 

I thought each light That in the heaven appears was there diffused。 

    And as accordant with their natural custom The rooks together at the 

break of day Bestir themselves to warm their feathers cold�察�

     Then some of them fly off without return�察�Others come back to where 

they started from�察�And others�察�wheeling round�察�still keep at home�察�

     Such   fashion   it   appeared   to   me   was   there   Within   the   sparkling   that 

together came�察�As soon as on a certain step it struck�察�

    And that which nearest unto us remained Became so clear�察�that in my 

thought I said�察 �Well I perceive the love thou showest me�察�

    But she�察�from whom I wait the how and when Of speech and silence�察�

standeth still�察�whence I Against desire do well if I ask not。;

     She thereupon�察�who saw my silentness In the sight of Him who seeth 

everything�察�Said unto me�察 �Let loose thy warm desire。; 

     And I began�此   �No   merit of   my  own   Renders me   worthy  of   response 

from thee�察�But for her sake who granteth me the asking�察�

     Thou   blessed   life   that   dost   remain   concealed   In   thy   beatitude�察  �make 

known to me The cause which draweth thee so near my side�察�

     And    tell  me   why   is  silent  in  this  wheel    The   dulcet   symphony   of 

Paradise�察�That through the rest below sounds so devoutly。; 

     ;Thou   hast   thy   hearing   mortal   as   thy   sight�察─  �It   answer   made   to   me�察�

;they sing not here�察�For the same cause that Beatrice has not smiled。 

     Thus far adown the holy stairway's steps Have I descended
