e cominciò: «Tu stesso ti fai grosso 
col falso imaginar, sì che non vedi 
ciò che vedresti se l'avessi scosso. 

And she began: "You make yourself thick
With false imagining, you do not see
What you would see if you had shaken it off.

Preconception imprisons experience
Reality is more than we allow 
Far more than we might imagine

The image is a detail from Paradiso by Tintoretto (1588)
