Paradiso.
The third and last part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem "Divine Comedy".
In 1868, Paradiso is illustrated by Gustave Doré's eighteen wood engravings.
I'm dumping all of them, here.

Continuing from >>2632084
Dante is flying towards Heaven, with Beatrice alongside, from the Earthly Paradise on the top of the mount Purgatorio.
Dante begins: "The glory of Him, who moves all things, penetrates the universe [..] I have been in that Heaven that knows his light most, and have seen things, which whoever descends from there has neither power, nor knowledge, to relate: because as our intellect draws near to its desire, it reaches such depths that memory cannot go back along the track".
He calls on Apollo, the god of poetry and music, for inspiration: 'enter my chest and breathe', so that Dante might be worthy of those 'laurel leaves' that the god took as his emblem.
The hemisphere where Dante and Beatrice are is all bright, at noon. Dante sees her gazing at the sun, he too fixes his eyes on the sun but not for long, since he's not immortal. But he stares long enough to see 'him' all round like 'molten iron'; as if 'a day had been added to day'. He says to himself: "To go beyond Humanity is not to be told in words".
In the sunlight, Dante wonders whether he is only pure soul or still a soul housed within a body. As he flies upward, he hears the heavenly harmonies of the celestial spheres around him. Beatrice says that he is 'no longer on earth' but he is like lightning leaving its proper home. Now Dante wonders how he can rise 'above lighter matter' when he is heavier than the spheres of air and fire.
Analysis: Medieval philosophers believed:
-in a geocentric universe, with the Earth at the center of the universe and all the other stars revolving around it. The revolution of each planet (the "spheres") creates a different musical note.
-and that the universe was made up of five elements. The northern hemisphere of the planet is all earth. The southern hemisphere (where the mountain of Purgatory is located) is all water. This planet is surrounded by a layer of air, then higher up a layer of fire, finally the ether of the heavens, where God resides.
