St Peter and St James with Dante and Beatrice by William Blake
Pen and ink and watercolor over black chalk, with sponging
1824-1827
(H: 37.1 × W: 52.7 cm)
from the same sphere out of whose joy had come
the first flower of Christ’s vicarage on earth.
And my lady, filled with ecstasy and aglow,
cried to me: “Look! Look there! It is the baron
for whom men throng to Galicia there below!”
At times, on earth, I have seen a mating dove
alight by another, and each turn to each,
circling and murmuring to express their love;
exactly so, within the eighth great sphere,
one glorious great lord greeted the other,
praising the diet that regales them there (translated by Ciardi).
