Basically this exact warning is in Dante’s Paradiso, where the pilgrim is often unable to look at heavenly things, simply because they would blind him. He does get blinded once, fortunately St. John the Evangelist restores his sight. Dante even uses “transumanar” in Paradiso I https://t.co/Yrgps5Hoy1
