In Relation to Wilstach

• Rings of the rose are referred to as leaves rather than petals
• Not only is Beatrice’s figure clear, but Dante expresses how her face is visible despite the great distance between them
• Dante raises his eyes as the horizon in the “early morn”, appearing to reference the light more generally rather than just the sun
• Description of the angels seems to imply they are not focused on Dante specifically
• Final line does not address an impact on Dante’s soul, only his desire to continue looking towards Mary
