Paradiso Canto XXIV Canto XXIII Canto XIX Paradise Paradise eighth or heaven of fixed stars. Triumph of Christ and Mary
this song of triumph, which come together in a triumph, the most important and central in human life, the one that follows on the greed, the desire for economic power, the company Money makes his tutelary deity, and rejects the moral religious moment. And if the Christ-centered vision of Catholicism's supreme triumph is to Christ, it is equally true that his victory over sin shall, victorious, too, Mary, the mystic rose, the apostles and all the souls of all times, even the that is until the end of the world. And this triple triumph (even if the poet dwells with more strength and conviction on that of Mary) is so exciting, it fills the soul of such high emotion to express satisfaction that the resulting words are often inadequate. For this song is rhythm on a series of observations and return sull'inettitudine the words of the poet, who, in approaching the topic of infinite beauty and divine perfection, to give himself and the readers a sense of the extraordinary experience uses similes drawn from observation of reality on earth, and these comparisons, chosen among the most significant to make sense of fullness from which the soul of the poet feels that she is in the journey through heaven, give the song a unique feature in all the poem. With a subtle comparison between Beatrice vigilant and careful at dawn and the bird is placed on an open spray waiting for the sky cleared and give him the opportunity to look for food for children, opens the song: if to emphasize first dominant emotion is that of supervision and expectation. The scene then expands and is underlined by the feeling of joy just looking forward to a mother provident and careful: on this issue arises with the insistence of his mother starts singing in the celebration of the figure of Mary, the highest of creatures, but especially her mother that can not be deprived of the sight of his son. The glory of untold beauty and as an extremely bright light and focuses it attracts the attention of the poet is compared to the night that lights the sky dotted with so many stars. The light that concentrates in itself all other light is that of Christ: the lights that accompany it are the blessed souls who tore Christ's death and limbo, and now constitute the visible sign of his triumph over sin. Dante is lost and no longer can tell him what happened. This is an example of mystical experience, contemplation dell'munito of total rapture, the soul lives an exceptional experience, is in immediate contact with the god, returned to his daily experiences as he does not know the purpose of the report vision: the infinite can not content from being finished. The only thing left is the joyful feeling of having experienced a moment of incredible life, which connects the shock to this man saw gaping for a moment, not measurable in terms of time. But Christ will return after the rapid appearance all'Emireo: Dante can now observe the blessed, as during a day of clouds and sun you can see, being in a gray area, a meadow covered with flowers and rays fall on it: But you can not see the source of light. Now the soul is Mary brighter, higher than any other soul blessed because the mother of Christ. Dante here welcomes and adopts the trend established towards the thousands, to the Virgin, the creature closest to God, the mediator between God and man, one who received the prayers of men mercifully, and submit to the Creator. This cult was then neleattolicesimo great importance, particularly in the Italian one. Prompted by the prayer of the blessed Mary in the song of all he gets up to go to the Empyrean. Of the blessed who are now the light is St. Peter, and his third victory of the song. Of which
hand, so medieval in setting (the triumphalism of Christianity at the time of Dante seemed to have no rivals, the celebration of Mary and St. Peter, the mystical contemplation and awe, the sectarian atmosphere) can be seen also another element: the player seems to assist to a rite, a sacred representation: on the one hand the audience of the faithful devotees and attentive (Dante), second presentation in a procession of the priest hierarchically higher (Christ) , then the other, some of which stand out, others march.
