And when we get to Paradise 33, I mean, this for me is the kind of experience that Dante might be having.
That place where our own senses are failing.
It's more than words.
It's more than a particular feeling can actually articulate.
And so something about a great piece of music, and I love the Beethoven one too.
That's another favorite.
But those are images of blessedness.
Junius, your comment earlier about the show, and I think part of the problem we have with Paradiso, we're not imaginative enough.
Dante's got lights and cameras and music.
This is a discotheque in Europe in the 70s, man.
There's light all over the place.
We've got different colors.
We got crosses showing up.
We got all kinds of fun stuff.
And I think part of the deal, I think of Lewis here.
I just got done teaching a course on Lewis and Tolkien with my third and fourth years.
