, op. Cit. VII, iii, 9: "Qui in solem defigit oculos, a posteriori ponit umbram suam. Similiter qui cordis oculos, intellectum videlicet et affectum constanter defigeret in hunc solem, Mariae recolens paupertatem, umbram rerum labentium facillime addor- saret. Sed . . . Pauci sunt tales. " the "three blessed ladies" i 75 represents in the solar symbolism the Sun itself, or generating-power of Light. As such, she sends forth a light-ray; and from the light-ray and the Sun both there is emitted h...eat. As we have seen, in the actual Trinity the Son is conceived as the light-ray, the Holy Spirit as the emitted heat. Dante's invention was to fill out the 'Marian' Trinity with the two functionally apposite persons St. Lucia and Beatrice. Such is the symbolic bond of unity between the "three blessed ladies. " Recognizing it, we must modify in so far forth the symbolic value of Beatrice as already denned. Fundamentally, Beatrice symbolizes Charity, but not charity in the abstract, nor yet merely the inherent and dominant virtue of Bice Portinari, but the charity of the Virgin-mother herself.
