she does not move her eyes. 135

Point 2
Supper is superimposed to another copy of the same
painting horizontally revolved.
In 1217 Templar Knights were in Iceland.
In these verses of the Comedy there is
a direct reference
to the Knight Templars. King Filippo IV is called new Pilate.
And I see the new Pilate, one so cruel
that, still not sated, he, without decree,
carries his greedy sails into the temple
O You, my
Lord, when will You let me be
happy on seeing vengeance that, concealed,
makes sweet Your anger in Your secrecy?
