The story of One Simple Light

I am reading "The Birth of Venus" by Sarah Dunant right now, and there are bits and pieces of Dante's works throughout the story. I don't exactly know why right now, but this stanza from Dante's Inferno caught my attention. Hence, where I came up with the idea for the title of my blog. While sexual in its connotation in the story, I think it can sum up a lot of very close relationships. I will have to expand on this at a later, more coherent time, but all I know is that it spoke to me.

In that abyss I saw how love held bound
Into one volume all the leaves whose flight
Is scattered through the universe around;
How substance, accident, and mode unite,
Fused, so to speak, together, in such wise
That this I tell of: one simple light.
