Dante covered her plate with her hands and said: --No, thanks. What if I should go straight in and march to HIS window?--what if, by risking to his boyish bewilderment a revelation of my motive, I should throw across the rest of the mystery the long halter of my boldness? This thought held me sufficiently to make me cross to his threshold and pause again. Boundless extension of torment, incredible intensity of suffering, unceasing variety of torture--this is what the divine majesty, so outraged by sinners, demands; this is what the holiness of heaven, slighted and set aside for the lustful and low pleasures of the corrupt flesh, requires; this is what the blood of the innocent Lamb of God, shed for the redemption of sinners, trampled upon by the vilest of the vile, insists upon. It was the first time, in a manner, that I had known space and air and freedom, all the music of summer and all the mystery of nature.
