• Here my powers rest from their high fantasy, but already I could feel my being turned- instinct and intellect balanced equally. as in a wheel whose motion nothing jars- by the Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.

    Dante Alighieri: Here my powers rest from their high fantasy, but already I could feel my being turned- instinct and intellect balanced equally. as in a wheel whose motion nothing jars- by the Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.
    Divina Commedia "Paradiso" canto 33, l. 145 (ca. 1310 - 1321) (translation by John D. Sinclair)
