If the soul raises its eyes to its head, which is Christ, as Paul declares, it will have to consider itself happy because of the enhanced sharpness of its sight, because it will keep its eyes fixed where there is no darkness of evil.

Se l'anima solleverà gli occhi verso il suo capo, che è Cristo, come dichiara Paolo, dovrà ritenersi felice per la potenziata acutezza della sua vista, perché terrà fissi gli occhi là dove non vi è l'oscurità del male.
