In the final volume of The Divine Humor, Dante completes his travel of the afterlife and goes up to the best sphere of heaven. His guide is Beatrice, who acts as both an object of devotion in addition to a source of training. In verse of the most sublime order, Dante not only describes the sights, sounds, and inhabitants of the celestial region, but also presents, with astonishing clarity, a thorough view of Catholic theology. Nor does indeed he fail to explore the psychology of the preserved souls, who, even in their habitual state of supernal bliss, still experience anger and disappointment over troubling occasions in the terrestrial world. However, at the end, even Dante's favorite Beatrice fades from his mind as he sees himself attracted ineluctably into ecstatic union with the Godhead itself. This is actually the first recording of the graceful and appropriate translation by Ichabod Charles Wright.
