The last 33 cantos, PARADISE, are a peaceful completion of the journey, perhaps too peaceful. Heathcote Williams is solemn, his voice serious and low, as Dante and Beatrice ascend to The Empyrean. The beauty of PARADISE is subdued by Williams's quiet reverence. While a reading of THE DIVINE COMEDY is a welcome listening experience, the lack of energy on the last CDs are unequal to the soaring joy of Alighieri's vision of heaven.

Book Description
As the bough that bends its top at passing of the wind, and then lifts itself by its own virtue which raises it, so did I, in amazement, the while she was speaking; and then a desire to speak, wherewith I was burning, gave me again assurance, and I began, "O Apple, that alone wast produced mature, O ancient Father, to whom every bride is daughter and daughter-in-law, devoutly as I can, I supplicate thee that thou speak to me; thou seest my wish, and in order to hear thee quickly, I do not tell it."
