One of the things that I found to be the most beautiful about Paradiso is that there is music constantly surrounding Dante. A quick theology lesson of medieval philosophers will state that they believed in a geocentric universe with the earth at the center and that all of the other stars and planets revolve around it. The revolution of each planet, which Dante refers to as spheres or the different paradises, will create a different musical note because they are traveling at different frequencies. So, the sky is always full of music! How incredible is that that even the planets sing the praises of God!
PS. I commented on Caleb's blog post.
