The Divine Comedy stands as one of the towering creations of world literature, and its climactic section, the Paradiso, is perhaps the most ambitious poetic attempt ever made to represent the merging of individual destiny with universal order. Having passed through Hell and Purgatory, Dante is led by his beloved Beatrice to the upper sphere of Paradise, wherein lie the sublime truths of Divine will and eternal salvation, to at last experience a rapturous vision of God.

Excerpts

DANTE STATES his supreme theme as Paradise itself and invokes the aid not only of the Muses but of Apollo.
added anonymously.
The glory of Him who moves everything penetrates through the universe, and shines in one part more and in another less.
