This essay discusses the interaction of the divine point of light and Beatrice as the unattainable point of revelation for Dante in Paradiso 30. The two points with their respective circles of understanding and expression form a powerful figure which calls for conceptualisation both in the context of Canto 30 but also the whole of the Divina Commedia. Despite the different epochs, ideologies and contexts, a striking similarity as to the poetic of the double point and circle may be found also in Hogan’s text.

这篇文章讨论了神圣光点和比阿特丽斯的相互作用，作为但丁在天堂 30 中无法达到的启示点。这两个点及其各自的理解和表达圈形成了一个强大的人物，需要在 Canto 的语境中进行概念化30 也是整个 Divina Commedia。尽管时代、意识形态和语境不同，但在霍根的文本中也可以找到关于双点和圆的诗意的惊人相似之处。
