The final canticle of Dante's "The Divine Comedy" shares the ultimate goal of human striving: the merging of individual destiny with universal order. One of the towering creations of world literature, Dante's vision of universal harmony and eternal salvation is an immortal hymn to God, Nature, Eternity, and Love.
