Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vita Nuova, or New Life of Dante Alighieri: Translated From the Italian by Frances De Meÿ II. Nine times already, since my birth, the starry heaven of light had returned almost to the self-same point on its revolution, when first appeared to my eyes the glorious lady of my mind, she was by many called Beatrice, not knowing wherefore she was so called. She had been so long in this life, that in her time the starry heavens had moved towards the orient one of the twelfth parts of a degree, so that almost at the beginning of her ninth year she appeared to me, and I beheld her almost at the end of my ninth year. And she appeared to me clad in a most noble colour, a subdued and pure crimson, girded and adorned in a manner befitting her extreme youth. At that moment I say truly that the spirit of life, which dwelleth in the most secret chamber of the heart, began to tremble so violently, that it was painfully perceptible in the smallest pulses; and trembling it spake these words: "Behold a god stronger than I, who coming, shall rule over me." At that moment the animal spirit, that inhabits the high chamber where the sensitive spirits have their perceptions, began to marvel greatly, and speaking more especially to the spirits of the eyes, he said these words: "Your beatitude hath now been manifested to you."
