Peter is not merely forgiven; he is promised enthronement in the manner of his Lord. In addition to interpreting 23 as the number of Justice and Mercy, Milton alludes to Dante's use of the number by arranging Christ's four 23-line speeches in Paradise Lost equally on either side of the Enthronement episode, "calling to mind the joint ascensions of Christ and the Virgin in Canto 23 of the Paradiso" (Frost, "John Donne" 140). To be sure, this is no restoration of the past, no enthronement of tradition as a blueprint for life; but it is a return all the same to a basic human aspiration that one's own individual rational processes can never provide. |
