Commentary Par XIV 37-60

Solomon's hymn, so different in technique from Thomas's 'Scholastic' verses in these cantos, really does seem intended to imitate the warmth and poetic quality of the Canticle of Canticles.  He answers Dante's two questions ([Par XIV 37-57]: in the rest of time the saved shall shine as brightly as we do here and now, until, after the General Resurrection, the renewed presence of our bodies will make us shine more brightly still; [Par XIV 58-60]: indeed, our restored senses, stronger than they are now, will be capable of looking on this even greater brightness).  However, he does so by singing what can only be regarded as a hymn to the General Resurrection, to borrow from Momigliano (DDP Momigliano.Par.XIV.28-33), a passage of critical prose that captures, as well perhaps as any has ever done, the thread uniting this entire canto, a celebration that combines praise of the Trinity and of the Resurrection.  In an only human view, these two moments are registered as the birth and death of Jesus.
Pasquini (Pasq.2001.1), pp. 226-28, characterizes these lines as a spectacular case of Dante's 'circolarità ritmica e concettuale' (rhythmic and conceptual circularity).
