4 I was in that heaven which receives
5 more of His light. He who comes down from there
6 can neither know nor tell what he has seen,
7 for, drawing near to its desire,
8 so deeply is our intellect immersed
9 that memory cannot follow after it.
10 Nevertheless, as much of the holy kingdom
11 as I could store as treasure in my mind
12 shall now become the subject of my song.
