My words are lacking for such a grand and remarkable piece of literature as Dante’s Paradise. I can not fathom anyone in our world today better equipped to present it to us. Anthony Esolen’s depth of understanding of the Divine Comedy and joy and energy in presenting it is second to none. My mind was not prepared to receive all contained in the Comedy itself, let alone these reflections. I feel I could listen constantly for a year and only start to digest, though presented as if for anyone to hear. Marvelous. Thank you Dr. Esolen for contributing your many hours to this project, such that I and many in years to come may taste of this great piece of literature.
