LZ Granderson: Dante 's La Vita Nuova is the second division of the Divine Comedy , focused on human love and art.
He says Dante met Beatrice when he was nine years old , and his soul was enthralled by her beauty.
The artist, then, is a finder and fashioner and arranger of signs, to shed light for others on an already given reality.
Anthony Esolen : If we did not have the records of it, no one would ever imagine a Dante seeing in Beatrice a bearer of divine love and grace.
He says the Dante who wrote in praise of the beauty and goodness of Beatrice is the same man who decried the corruption and hypocrisy of his native Florence .
Esolen says the constriction or demotion of reason, and the chaos of brute passions and dull sloth, can be seen simultaneously and not coincidentally in the death of reason and reasoned political discourse.
