O joy! O gladness inexpressible!
O perfect life of love and peacefulness!
O richness so assured, that knows no longing.
Above, on high, there is a light that makes
Apparent the Creator to the creature,
Whose only peace lies in seeing Him.
Now was turning my desire and will,
Even as a wheel that equally is moved,
The Love which moves the sun and other stars.

Dante Alighieri
