Description
English: [See source] Beatrice, the Italian poet Dante's beloved, serves as his guide through Paradise in his epic poem, The Divine Comedy (1321). The verses from the poem that Scheffer illustrates are written on the frame and translate as follows:
Italiano: [Vedi fonte] Beatrice, la donna amata dal poeta italiano Dante, fa a lui da guida attraverso il Paradiso nel suo poema epico, la Divina Commedia (1321). I versi del poema illustrati da Scheffer sono scritti in inglese sulla cornice. Questi i versi originali:
“ And, of a sudden, meseemed that day was added
unto day, as though he who hath the power,
had adorned heaven with a second sun.

Beatrice was standing with her eyes all fixed
upon the eternal wheels, and I fixed my sight
removed from there above, on her. 		”

—Paradiso, Canto I, v. 61-66

“ E di subito parve giorno a giorno
essere aggiunto, come quei che puote
avesse il ciel d'un altro sole adorno.

Beatrice tutta ne l'eterne rote
fissa con gli occhi stava: ed io in lei
le luci fissi, di lassù remote. 		”

—Paradiso, Canto I, v. 61-66
