Paradiso XXXIII, 58
As he who sees in dream, and when the dream is past
the passion stamped upon his being still remains
although the dream itself come no more to the mind;
the passion stamped upon his being still remains
although the dream itself come no more to the mind;
Such am I now, for almost wholly gone from me
is that my vision, yet still falling drop by drop
within my heart remains the sweetness born of it.
is that my vision, yet still falling drop by drop
within my heart remains the sweetness born of it.
