"And under that magnificence of Heaven came four and twenty elders, two by two, All of them wearing crowns of fleur-de-lis
They sang as they moved on: "Benedicta thouof all Adam's daughters, blessed bethy beauty throughout all eternity!"
When once the group of God's elect had paased the flowers and the tender grass that grewalong the bank once more in view
as groups of stars will replace other starshigh in the heavens, following them there camefour creatures wearing crowns of forest green
Each had six wings with feathers that were allcovered with eyes; were Argus still alivehis eyes would be exactly like all those"- Dante, Purgatorio, XXX
