Commentary Purg XV 67-75

Virgil's final resolution of Dante's problem insists on the centrality of love as antidote to envy.  Indeed, words for love (amore, carità, amare, ama) occur four times within seven lines.  Barolini (Baro.1992.1), p. 330, n. 39, also notes the insistence on più (more) in [Purg XV 55-62] (an astounding 7 occurrences in 8 lines, the densest presence of a single word in any passage of the poem, one might add) and here (vv. 73-74), perhaps underlining the need for the incremental conceptual refinement necessary for the redefinition of human affection toward a better end.
