3097. About Paradisal delights

In front a little higher up, toward the corner of the right eye are those who live a paradisal life, for whom there are such paradisal views extending to an immense distance, as can never be seen by any earthly human, with an infinity of scenes together with enlightening splendors. In short, they who had been there were saying, as those who are there are saying now, that it is altogether so unutterable that they cannot present its ineffability even by the richest human mental image. Enjoyments and happiness shine forth from the very least things-in short, words fail them to describe it, except that it is ineffable. And this goes on with changes of scenes to eternity.
