Unity in wills cannot be unless there is one will dominating and ruling all the rest to oneness... wills of mortals have need of a directive principle... therefore for the well-being of the world, there should be a monarchy.

The more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love... and, mirror-like... each soul reflects the other.

And here Dante describes an evidently spherical world... "The lamp of the world [the sun] rises to mortals through different passages; but through that which joins four circles with three crosses [the position of the rising sun at the vernal equinox] it issues with a better course and conjoined with better stars, and tempers and stamps the wax of the world more after its own fashion. Although such an outlet had made morning there and evening here, and all the hemisphere there was bright, and the other dark..."

In His will, our peace.

O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!

From a small spark, Great flame has risen.

Love, that all gentle hearts so quickly know.
