Commentary Par III 73-75

At first reading, a certain indeterminacy seems possible.  Does Piccarda mean 'higher in the heavens' or 'higher in the Rose'?  Since the concluding words of the tercet, 'that which assigns us to this place,' seems to refer to the sphere of the Moon, it is difficult to conclude that she means other than in a higher heaven.  See, again, C.Par.III.29-30.
